Sentiment: POSITIVE
Maybe I am not very human - what I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.
There is a sort of elation about sunlight on the upper part of a house.
I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.
I decided that what I really wanted to do was go off and paint.
I've always wanted to be able to paint the dawn.
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.
If the weather is good I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 'o clock.
I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work.
I wanted to deal with light directly rather than with paint.
I wanted to paint with shadows and capture what light would look like in clothes.
