"In fact eye for an artist perform two functions: help to identify the location of the object on the canvas and choose a color."
"Over time I was able to develop several methods to lines on canvas laid down more accurately".
"All the bottles and tubes of paint in my Studio signed in Braille. For mixing I use a recipe that is measure various parts of each desired color to get the right shade. This is how to use recipe for baking a cake."
