Paint Quotes

I choose color on the spur of the moment. People ask me why I paint in red. I do not have the slightest idea. I was painting in blue, then I had a need to paint in red. To be able to interact with the medium, this is the key. There are no sure ways to do art Picture Quote #1

... a canvas that I have covered is worth more than a blank canvas. My pretensions go no further; that is my right to paint, my reason for painting Picture Quote #1

You know, I always say musicians, they can do it on their own. They can practice their violin on their own. A painter can paint by himself. A writer can write by himself. But an actor needs a group, and the hardest thing about expanding your ability and your craft is to have a group to do it with that is of a caliber where you can grow even more Picture Quote #1

I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what’s the fun in that? Picture Quote #1

I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I’d rather give them to people for free Picture Quote #1

All I could do at school was paint and draw and that was the only time I ever passed any exam. It was the only thing I ever got right at school Picture Quote #1

Children can’t help but create: they need to put their mind on the page, they want to paint, to sculpt, to write short stories Picture Quote #1

As long as you’re true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you’re doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody’s picture is going to be exactly the same, but it’s still art. I just do what I do Picture Quote #1

I want to make beautiful paintings. But I don’t make beautiful paintings by putting beautiful paint on a canvas with a beautiful motif. It just doesn’t work. I expect my paintings to be strong and surprising Picture Quote #1

I take it very seriously, music. I think it’s one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue Picture Quote #1

If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I’d be happy Picture Quote #1

There is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hog pens Picture Quote #1

When you’re not a mom, you can get up in the middle of the night, paint, sleep all morning... you can’t do that when you have two children! Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I write what I can’t paint, and I paint what I can’t write. I use a different part of the brain Picture Quote #1

I paint very messy. I throw paint around. So when I let myself do the same sort of thing with my writing, and I would just write and write and write and revise, that’s when I found my rhythm in writing Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a house painter like my father, but I was always screwing up when I went to work with him. I had a talent for knocking over paint and painting myself into corners. I also realized fairly quickly that painting bored me Picture Quote #1

Objects of every sort are materials for the new art: paint, food, chairs, electric and neon lights, smoke, water, old socks, a dog, movies, a thousand other things which will be discovered by the present generation of artists Picture Quote #1

Philosophy can forsake too easily the details of experience… many writers and painters have demonstrated that thinking long about what art is or ought to be ruins the power to write or paint Picture Quote #1

Cover the canvas at the first go, and then work on till you see nothing more to add... Don’t proceed according to rules and principles, but paint what you observe and feel. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression Picture Quote #1

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru chinks of his cavern.I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike. To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes Picture Quote #1

A heightened sense of the observation of nature is one of the chief delights that have come to me through trying to paint Picture Quote #1
