"To get an interesting portrait, it is essential for you to almost fall in love with the sitter. Rubens always told his pupils that they must fall in love with anyone they painted to get the indescribable something. The portrait not only must be a painting and a work of art: it must be a living thing. John Ruskin wrote, 'When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.'"
