How Are Things Visible? Can You See An Egg Against A White Background? Not By Drawing A Line Around It Can You Make It Evident.

Art Teaches You The Philosophy Of Life, And If You Can't Learn It From Art, You Can't Learn It At All. It Shows You That There Is No Perfection. There Is Light, And There Is Shadow. Everything Is In Half Tint.

It's No Easy Matter To Paint A Background. I Venture To Say That The Old Painters Had More Difficulty With Their Grounds Than With Their Figures.
