In his own words:
"This is some advice given to me that
I have always followed. 'equipment is very important before even starting a
painting. Always use a glass palette, always use pure turpentine to dilute
paint not the cheap cleaning turps.......it destroys the pigment. And always
invest in good brushes.....( a tutor once told me that you would expect a
surgeon to use blunt dirty tools, so a range of quality brushes cleaned every
night is essential. Finally, I would say painting is really hard. When you
first start out it seems easy and the better you get it the harder it seems.'”
