If he sees nothing within, then he should stop painting what is in front of him.
A painter must think of everything he sees as being there entirely for his own use and pleasure.
The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.
There are two things in the painter, the eye and the mind; each of them should aid the other.
No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
Every good painter paints what he is.
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
The mind of the painter must resemble a mirror, which always takes the colour of the object it reflects and is completely occupied by the images of as many objects as are in front of it.
