Painted Quotes

I hate nothing more than having my nails painted. I feel like I’m in time out Picture Quote #1

I’ve been playing piano my whole life, but I’d never tried to understand how compositions are made, really. Try to imagine if you’d loved paintings your whole life but had never painted one. My aspiration now is just to understand Picture Quote #1

Every picture’s painted differently, every one has got a vision in their mind. That fills the heart with answers, and the missing piece that we hope to find Picture Quote #1

I’m often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush Picture Quote #1

While guns rumbled in the distance, we sang, painted, made collages and wrote poems with all our might. We were seeking an art based on fundamentals, to cure the madness of the age, and find a new order of things that would restore the balance between heaven and hell Picture Quote #1

The true picture of life as it is, if it could be adequately painted, would show men what they are, and how they might rise, not, indeed to perfection, but one step first, and then another on the ladder Picture Quote #1

In the end I realize that whatever meaning that picture has is the accumulated meaning of ten thousand brushstrokes, each one being decided as it was painted Picture Quote #1

Renoir had not only a great interest in human character, in human feeling, but had also a great love for the people he painted Picture Quote #1

All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside Picture Quote #1

If all the qualities which a painter took from the model for his picture were really taken, no person could be painted twice Picture Quote #1

I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors. The thing is done without your knowing it Picture Quote #1

Throw away those little pieces of paper. Get yourself a big, beautiful canvas. Bring from this nature the most beautiful colors. Find the serene scene within. Find the joy in each corner of your life. Sit still and feel what is within you. Sit still and paint like you have never painted before Picture Quote #1

Mass production is nothing new. Weren’t cathedrals built through mass production? The pyramids?... Paintings can be painted with the left hand, the right hand, someone else’s hand, or many people’s hands. The scale of production is irrelevant to its content Picture Quote #1

Do I doubt the painting I’ve just painted because it is not right or because I can never like what I do? Picture Quote #1

The place where I had freedom most was when I painted. I was completely and utterly myself Picture Quote #1

I try to keep my sitters moving and talking, to make them forget they are being painted. This has nothing to do with extracting intimate secrets or confessions, but rather with establishing, in motion, an essential image of the kind that remains in memory or recurs in dreams Picture Quote #1

If there is one subject in this world worthy of being discussed, worthy of being understood, it is the question of intellectual liberty. Without that, we are simply painted clay Picture Quote #1

I benefit from contemplation, but it’s a great antidote to that, having someone interesting come into the studio environment to be painted, so that I can experience a little bit of their world Picture Quote #1

Some sitters don’t engage with the process of having their portrait painted at all. They’ll think it’s a good opportunity to catch up with all their phone calls Picture Quote #1

A background can be painted in the same range of values as the foreground by reversing the light effect. In the shadow plane, paint the lights cool and the shadows warm, and in the sunlight plane, paint the lights warm and shadows cool Picture Quote #1

It is what is painted between the outlines that makes the difference between merely competent painting and really meaningful art Picture Quote #1

In the beginning I drew and painted from nature in order to know her. Then later, only to fall under her spell. And today, to let her mirror my thoughts and feelings Picture Quote #1

I have painted and drawn bulls for some time because of their density and all the symbolism they carry Picture Quote #1

For the surface, I’m not interested in painterly convention. It’s more interesting if it looks like it painted itself Picture Quote #1

The fact is that until I saw paintings as icons, I couldn’t see why people painted at all Picture Quote #1

I had always been the hardest on myself when I drew and painted. I am not hard on myself when I write. I like what I write, so it is a much happier process Picture Quote #1

The fierce and partial writers of the times, ascribing all virtue to themselves, and imputing all guilt to their adversaries, have painted the battle of the angels and the demons Picture Quote #1

I was always interested in language. I thought, why not? If a painting, by the normal definition of the term, is paint on canvas, why can’t it be painted words on canvas? Picture Quote #1

Some objects and events may be photographed, others, if one is to render their true quality, should be painted or set to music, since their essence is more faithfully reproduced through imagination than by the journalistic report Picture Quote #1

Paintings, like dreams, have a life of their own and I have always painted very much the way I dream Picture Quote #1
