"If you look into the past of the successful painters you will find square miles of canvas behind him."

"Thank God in this time you are free-you have no public to please, no jury of artists, no one but me. You are not here to make pictures-do not worry about the drawing, make the things as ugly as you like, but put down the colors, matching the one against another.

"I didn't say much about drawing because I think drawing the form and painting are better separated. Realize that you haven't yet the painting point of view-after you have got the spots of color true and in there proper relations you have something to draw with and you can then consider it.

"Remember no amount of good drawing will pull you out if your colors are not true. Get them true and you will be surprised how little else you will need."

Quotes from Hawthorne in "Hawthorne on Painting"

Draw and paint more. The rest will follow.
