Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
