It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method.

  • -- Edward Hopper 爱德华·霍珀

这是直接在画布上作画,没有任何有趣的事情,可以说,我用几乎纯松节油作为开始,边画边加油,直到介质变成纯油。我尽量少用油,这就是我的方法。
