As artists we have to see in broader strokes. An artist must take pride in what he doesn t see. Don t skimp when it comes to mixing your palette. Your experience and time is worth far more than the cost of paint. In a commission portrait avoid red in and around the eyes.
Perfection is dull.
There is no right or wrong in a work of art no moral imperative. The moralist can never be an artist. The artist must avoid quality. This is the ultimate acknowledgment of a higher power. God lives in our imperfections.
