''Schiele's work is built on drawing, rather than painting, often using very thin washes of color in only parts of an artwork. Painters should look at his work to see how much can be conveyed with little detail'' <ref> [http://painting.about.com/od/artglossarys/g/defEgonSchiele.htm Egon Schiele] by Marion Boddy-Evans. </ref>
