Work at the same time on sky, water, branches, ground, keeping everything going on an equal basis... Don’t be afraid of putting on colour... Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression Picture Quote #1

When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart Picture Quote #1
