:34:07
You've been out at the beach
at Scheveningen.

:34:09
Don't be in such a hurry,
seascapes are difficult.

:34:13
Yes, indeed.
:34:25
You know, I expected to find you a dullard.
:34:29
I was wrong.
:34:33
They're clumsy, most of them,
but I can see what you're getting at.

:34:39
And that you've worked.
:34:45
Yes, that...
:34:48
Tell me something.
:34:50
What kind of an artist do you want to be?
:34:53
I want to create things that touch people.
:34:56
I want to move them so they say,
"He feels deeply and tenderly."

:35:02
That's fine.
But before you can move people...

:35:06
you first have to learn your business.
It needs skill as well as heart.

:35:11
Tell me something.
:35:12
- Have you ever worked in color?
- No.

:35:15
You better start working right away
in watercolors and oil.

:35:17
It'll help your drawing.
:35:19
- I don't know anything about color.
- I will teach you.

:35:22
We'll work together here.
:35:23
- Cousin Mauve...
- No.

:35:25
When I'm less tired.
:35:29
Now, you'll need some watercolors.
Here they are.

:35:32
Some brushes, some oil...
:35:35
and... No. This is an incomplete set...
:35:38
but it'll do for now.
:35:40
There's a palette, palette knife,
oil, turpentine.

:35:44
Better have a couple of these.
:35:47
Now, to improve your drawing,
you'll need to use casts.

:35:51
Now let me see. Yes.
:35:53
Take these home with you
and see that you work from them...

:35:56
not less than
three hours each day, faithfully.

:35:58
- Have you a place to work?
- I found a flat near the market...
