Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that an artist should not be solely focused on the skill or technique of painting, but rather on observing and capturing the essence of nature. The speaker suggests that true artistic expression lies in truly understanding and feeling the reality of the subject matter, rather than trying to create a picturesque representation of it. In other words, the artist should listen to the language of nature and strive to convey the genuine emotions and authenticity of the things they observe.
