When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field... Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape.
Claude Monet's advice to Lila Cabot Perry, 1927
Ah, seeing the world as it is, and not as we fashion it to be, helps us to see reality.
