Quote of the Week

"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."

 - Vincent Van Gogh


I think this is a very encouraging quote. All artists have doubted themselves at one point, but Van Gogh tells us in this statement to use that doubt to push yourself harder to prove those doubts wrong. I thought this would be a good quote to share for the upcoming paintings assignments we are about to do in class. I especially need to remember this because I do struggle with paints.
