You must try to match your colors as nearly as you can to those you see before you, and you must study the effects of light and shade on nature's own hues and tints.

Colours exist for me as entities in themselves, as metaphysical beings.
In teaching color, you teach people how to look something and see the tone in it and break it down to be able to paint it and reproduce that color. But then, I'm psychedelic, so I look at color differently. I like colors that are in contrast with one another, so that they flicker back and forth.
Light in Nature creates the movement of colors.
But what is of great importance to me is observation of the movement of colors.
Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.
I love the challenge of taking colors that are totally disparate and making them work together in an interesting way.
Color is born of the interpenetration of light and dark.
You have to understand the nature of light.
The way it works for me is my sight and sound senses are combined. Every sound I associate with a color and every color I associate with a sound... The way I see things is constant streamers across the room, bouncing off from every touch and every sound. Over the years, I've learned what color palates I love most.
In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.
