Every New Painting Is Like

I Paint What I See And Not What Others Like To See.

There Is Only One True Thing: Instantly Paint What You See.

In A Face, Look For The Main Light And The Main Shadow; The Rest Will Come Naturally — It's Often Not Important. And Then You Must Cultivate Your Memory, Because Nature Will Only Provide You With References. Nature Is Like A Warden In A Lunatic Asylum. It Stops You From Becoming Banal.

One Must Be Of One's Time And Paint What One Sees.

There Are No Lines In Nature, Only Areas Of Colour, One Against Another.
