Ian Caldwell Quote: “Leanoardo wrote that a painter should begin every canvas wit a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light. Most painters do the opposite, starting with a whitewash and adding the shadows last.

The only things people can ever know about you are the ones you let them see.”
