Å male er lett når du ikke kan det, men svært vanskelig når du kan det.
The Shop-Talk of Edgar Degas (1961).
Painting is not very difficult when you don’t know how; but when you know, oh! then, it’s another matter.
Variant:
Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.
La peinture, c’est très facile quand vous ne savez pas comment faire. Quand vous le savez, c’est très difficile.
