Paint the essential character of things.
From Camille Pissarro
When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.
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.
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.
It is absurd to look for perfection.
Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.
At fifty, that is in 1880, I formulated the idea of unity, without being able to render it. At sixty, I am beginning to see the possibility of rendering it.
Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add.
God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.
