Champaklal Speaks

10 October 1933

Today I was very much disappointed in drawing and began to get suggestions for giving up the whole thing.

There is no reason for any such disappointment. Most of your work has shown that you have an innate capacity. As for failures, an artist learning his art has no right to be discouraged even by a hundred failures. Everyone has to go through them and it is by the failures that he learns, and ends by finding what not to do and how to get his technique.
