Nature Creates Unity Even In The Parts

The Contour Should Come Last, Only A Very Experienced Eye Can Place It Rightly.

The First Virtue Of A Painting Is To Be A Feast For The Eyes.

The Only Ones Who Can Really Benefit By Consulting The Model Are Those Who Can Produce Their Effect Without A Model.

There Is No Merit In Being Truthful When One Is Truthful By Nature, Or Rather When One Can Be Nothing Else; It Is A Gift, Like Poetry Or Music. But It Needs Courage To Be Truthful After Carefully Considering The Matter, Unless A Kind Of Pride Is Involved; For Example, The Man Who Says To Himself, "i Am Ugly," And Then Says, "i Am Ugly" To His Friends, Lest They Should Think Themselves The First To Make The Discovery.
