You Can't Do Sketches Enough. Sketch Everything

Every Time I Paint A Portrait I Lose A Friend.

No Small Dabs Of Colour - You Want Plenty Of Paint To Paint With.

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

Cultivate An Ever Continuous Power Of Observation. Wherever You Are, Be Always Ready To Make Slight Notes Of Postures, Groups And Incidents. Store Up In The Mind... A Continuous Stream Of Observations From Which To Make Selections Later. Above All Things Get Abroad, See The Sunlight And Everything That Is To Be Seen.

The Thicker You Paint, The More It Flows.
