“When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model.” MayLosesColorModelsHarmonyRangeToneImitation Author:Vincent Van Gogh
“Strive for simplicity! Don't have the face a checkerboard of tints! Use such colors as nature uses, but not try to keep them distinct! Your work may be called monotonous, but one tone is better than many which do not harmonize.” TryingMayUseFacesColorStriveSimplicityToneMonotonousCheckerboard Author:William Morris Hunt
