When I Don't Feel In The Mood

Well, I Have A Very Simple Method Of Painting.

I Find Linseed Oil And White Lead The Most Satisfactory Mediums.

It's To Paint Directly On The Canvas Without Any Funny Business, As It Were, And I Use Almost Pure Turpentine To Start With, Adding Oil As I Go Along Until The Medium Becomes Pure Oil. I Use As Little Oil As I Can Possibly Help, And That's My Method.

So Much Of Every Art Is An Expression Of The Subconscious That It Seems To Me Most Of All The Important Qualities Are Put There Unconsciously, And Little Of Importance By The Conscious Intellect. But These Are Things For The Psychologist To Untangle.

If You Could Say It In Words There Would Be No Reason To Paint.
