Excitement Quote by Lucian Freud
“The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement”
About This Quote
The painter’s tool is a catalyst; it provides a starting point for excitement, not the final creation.

Use tools to ignite inspiration, then create.
