Art Quotes:
“I always make small compositional sketches before I start painting, because if I don’t, I’m likely to regret the omission later on, when it’s difficult to make radical changes in the arrangement of shapes, values, colors, or spatial relationships. I make three or four sketches with a black permanent marker to determine which composition will have the most impact, and then I paint a quick three-tone gray value study on the canvas to test my idea on the full-size painting. I warn my students that their brains can’t handle too many choices, so they need to deal with spatial composition first, value relationships next, and then color. “
