Painterly colourist, or precision drafts-person, much depends on your focus:
Eugene Delacroix said: “Draughtsmen may be made, but colourists are born.” His great rival Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres thought: “Drawing is not just reproducing contours, it is not just the line; drawing is also the expression, the inner form, the composition, the modelling. See what is left after that. Drawing is seven eighths of what makes up painting.”
For Monet: “Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment”, however according to Tintoretto: “Beautiful colours can be bought in the shops on the Rialto, but a good drawing can only be bought from the casket of the artist’s talent with patient study and nights without sleep.”
