I regard it as a waste of time to think only of selling: one forgets one's art and exaggerates one's value.
Camille Pissarro

Paint the essential character of things.
Camille Pissarro

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
Camille Pissarro

It is absurd to look for perfection.
Camille Pissarro

Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add.
Camille Pissarro

It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.
Camille Pissarro

Work at the same time on sky, water, branches, ground, keeping everything going on an equal basis... Don't be afraid of putting on colour... Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.
Camille Pissarro

Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.
Camille Pissarro
