“Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He's convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.” - Picasso… I love this one because it simply seems true to me.

I don't want to be a product of my environment- rather, I'd like my environment to be a product of me- Anonymous

“Drawing includes three and a half quarters of the content of painting…Drawing contains everything, except the hue.” It's my favvorite quotes.
