Artist Quote by Chaim Potok
““It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly,” I read in the collection of letters written by Camille Pissarro to his son Lucien, “that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.… You must harness yourself to drawing.””
