The Thicker You Paint, The More It

You Can't Do Sketches Enough. Sketch Everything And Keep Your Curiosity Fresh.

I Hate To Paint Portraits! I Hope Never To Paint Another Portrait In My Life. Portraiture May Be All Right For A Man In His Youth, But After Forty I Believe That Manual Dexterity Deserts One, And, Besides, The Color-sense Is Less Acute. Youth Can Better Stand The Exactions Of A Personal Kind That Are Inseparable From Portraiture. I Have Had Enough Of It.

The Thicker You Paint, The More It Flows.

It Is Certain That At Certain Times Talent Entirely Overcomes Thought Or Poetry.

Mine Is The Horny Hand Of Toil.
