fun world next
There's lots of fun in this world, after all. And if there isn't, there is in the next. And we're going there, sure.
rose trying painting
Don't put needless expense into painting a head! Don't try to match tints! Rose and pearly colours blend into each other so that no one can unite them if painted separately. Keep the impression of your subject as one thing!
blue eyelashes long
Beauty is that little something that fills the whole world, and is contained neither in a single straight nose, a long eyelash, nor a blue mountain. Some see it in a leg of mutton, others in a compound fracture; and to expect others to accept one's own definition of it is as absurd as to expect all humanity to use the same toilet-brush.
giving-up dark color
Give up the idea of 'color' for awhile! Consider masses - values, only... One dark and one light place in every picture.
believe want time-management
Believe that time is going to help you do what you want.
artist people enough
The artist is an interpreter of Nature. People learn to love Nature through pictures. To the artist, nothing is in vain; nothing beneath his notice. If he is great enough, he will exalt every subject which he treats.
advice
Don't talk of what you are 'going to do!' Do it!
