How Are Things Visible? Can You See

Strive For Simplicity! Don't Have The Face A Checkerboard Of Tints! Use Such Colors As Nature Uses, But Not Try To Keep Them Distinct! Your Work May Be Called Monotonous, But One Tone Is Better Than Many Which Do Not Harmonize.

The Mission Of Art Is To Represent Nature Not To Imitate Her.

You Are To Draw Not Reality, But The Appearance Of Reality!

Children Should Learn To Draw As They Learn To Write, And Such A Mystery Should Not Be Made Of It. They Should Be Encouraged, Not Flattered... Then [later In Life] Double The Effort Is Required To Get The Facility Which Might Have Been Gained Insensibly.

Don't Talk Of What You Are 'going To Do!' Do It!
