Value drawings are one of the artist's best friends. (Harley Brown)
Harley Brown - From the Emotion category:
Many artists like to rush forward thinking that their pure "emotions" are more important on the paper than good proportions... eventually having to return into clumsy areas and correct, correct, correct. That's when the freshness disappears. (Harley Brown)
Harley Brown - From the Experience category:

If art takes up much of the artist's time, then it makes sense that she/he be "lost" in the euphoria of creating. Isn't that one of our ultimate purposes in life? (Harley Brown)

My studio has a personality of its own. It can be a monstrous clutter from one end to the other or, at times, the very model of simplicity. (Harley Brown)
Harley Brown - From the Talent category:
Without underestimating the value of talent, it's not the most important attribute you need to become a successful artist. It's not even second. More important than talent is desire. (Harley Brown)
