Art, this quote: “… why should the earnest student overlook the
simplest and most thorough way of acquiring all the knowledge
of the craft of painting and drawing, the studying of inanimate
objects, still life painting, the very surest road to absolute mastery
over all technical difficulties. Once learned it applies to all painting,
all drawing…” Taken from Emil Carlsen, Palette and Bench, 1908
