Henri Matisse speaking about drawing and painting:
"Personally, I think painting and drawing say the same
thing. A drawing is a painting done in a simpler way. On a white surface, a
sheet of paper, with pen and ink, one creates a certain contrast with volumes;
by changing the quality of the paper one can give supple surfaces, bright
surfaces, hard surfaces without using either shading or highlight. For me, a
drawing is a painting made with reduced means, which can be totally absorbing,
which can very well release the feelings of the artist just as much as the
painter, but painting is obviously a thing that has more to it, that acts more
strongly on the mind."
