Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.

Your style is the way you talk in paint.

When the motives of artists are profound, when they are at their work as a result of deep consideration, when they believe in the importance of what they are doing, their work creates a stir in the world.

Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not as they should be stop you. Go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway.

It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.

The big painter is one who has something to say. He thus does not paint men, landscape or furniture, but an idea.

In great art there is no beginning and end in point of time. All time is comprehended.
