Quote: Don't Make Edges Meet, Paint One Over The Other

"The most important parts of a picture are where edges meet, or [where] one thing comes against another. Anybody can paint the rest of it. Edges must be very carefully studied. If there is no defined edge, don't make one. Don’t make edges meet. Paint one over the other. A sky with variations of light and dark and especially a light or a dark line around the edge of objects simply spoils all effect of reality."
