Paint Quotes

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly Picture Quote #1

Neurologically, I’m a quadriplegic, so virtually everything about my work has been driven by my learning disabilities, which are quite severe, and my lack of facial recognition, which I’m sure is what drove me to paint portraits in the first place Picture Quote #1

I’m not performing miracles, I’m using up and wasting a lot of paint Picture Quote #1

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art Picture Quote #1

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident Picture Quote #1

I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot; and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even Picture Quote #1

As an artist I have always tried to be faithful to my vision of life, and I have frequently been in conflict with those who wanted me to paint not what I saw but what they wished me to see Picture Quote #1

Painting is the act of discovery and you’re constantly enlarging your horizon or finding yourself every time you paint Picture Quote #1

I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that’s the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible Picture Quote #1

Bodybuilding is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self portrait into a masterpiece Picture Quote #1

Of course you will say that I ought to be practical and ought to try and paint the way they want me to paint. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried and I have tried very hard, but I can’t do it. I just can’t do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy Picture Quote #1

Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor Picture Quote #1

Come into my lap and sit in the center of your soul. Drink the living waters of memory and give birth to yourself. What you unearth with stun you. You will paint the walls of this cave in thanksgiving Picture Quote #1

Expression is not a matter of passion mirrored on the human face or revealed by a violent gesture. When I paint a picture, its every detail is expressive Picture Quote #1

When I started to paint I felt transported into a kind of paradise... In everyday life I was usually bored and vexed... Starting to paint I felt gloriously free Picture Quote #1

If I were in the government I would have a brigade of policemen assigned to keeping an eye on people who paint landscapes outdoors. Oh, I wouldn’t want anyone killed. I’d be satisfied with just a little buckshot to begin with Picture Quote #1

Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It’s wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane Picture Quote #1

The true professional makes art when he is not feeling good, if the studio is too cold or too warm or the walls are falling down. We are painters and we paint. If I were a sculptor, I’d sculpt Picture Quote #1

If we view a great mountain soaring into the sky, it may excite us, evoke an uplifted feeling within us. There is an interplay of something we see outside of us with our inner response. The artist takes that response and its feelings and shapes it on canvas with paint so that when finished it contains the experience Picture Quote #1

If you stare at an object, as you do when you paint, there is no point at which you stop learning things from it Picture Quote #1

I deal with painting as I deal with things, I paint a window just as I look out of a window. If an open window looks wrong in a picture, I draw the curtain and shut it, just as I would in my own room. In painting, as in life, you must act directly Picture Quote #1

I can’t paint. I can’t write. I can’t sing. But I can decorate and run a house, and light it, and heat it, and have it like a living thing Picture Quote #1

Characterization is not divorced from plot, not a coat of paint you slap on after the structure of events is already built. Rather characterization is inseparable from plot Picture Quote #1

I love people where, at the end of the day, they’ll pick up a paintbrush and paint clouds. They can physically make things Picture Quote #1

They will come, not to paint the bay and the sea and the boots and the moors, but the warmth of the sun and the colour of the wind. A whole new concept. Such stimulation. Such vitality Picture Quote #1

I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly Picture Quote #1

Just as a picture is created by adding a dab of paint at a time, the best arrangements are created a step at a time, with pauses so you can step back and see the overall effect Picture Quote #1

... to paint with oil paints for the first time... is like trying to make something exquisitely accurate and microscopically clear out of mud pies with boxing gloves on Picture Quote #1

Are we to paint what’s on the face, what’s inside the face, or what’s behind it? Picture Quote #1

If there were only one truth, you couldn’t paint a hundred canvases on the same theme Picture Quote #1
