Quote: Impression Is Obtained By Forgetting The Objects

"It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly... When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you own naive impression of the scene before you."

Claude Monet
