| "I sometimes take my glasses off while painting to help me make sure that I stay focused on the big shapes. You’re not really painting a petal or a nose or a tree…you’re painting bits of light and color that make up shapes" | "Being an artist isn’t all just about staring dreamily at a subject and applying dollops of paint to canvas. There is a ridiculous amount of carting paintings hither and thither. It’s about 50% sweat and 50% creativity" | "I think that training the eye to be a careful observer is one of the most important things an artist learns to do. Keeping a sketch book handy is one way to keep your artist eye in practice." |
