Painting Quotes

I think of painting as possessed by a structure... but a structure born of the flow of color feeling Picture Quote #1

I love audio books, and when I paint I’m always listening to a book. I find that my imagination really takes flight in the painting process when I’m listening to audio books Picture Quote #1

When I need some striking inspiration about deep depression for my new painting, I just need to go to check my bank account Picture Quote #1

If a painting contains no abstraction nor impressionistic elements, it is a kite that will never fly. But if the painting completely breaks the connection between human feeling and the object portrayed, the kite string has been broken. I try to keep the line unbroken Picture Quote #1

Every play I do, every book I write, every painting I paint, I will struggle with. I don’t know what it’s like for a project to come easy Picture Quote #1

That’s what painting does; it organizes vision in a certain way or suggests that certain things be paid attention to and certain other things not be paid attention to. It functions in that way to a certain extent in our civilization Picture Quote #1

Abolishing the book is like abolishing the symphony, or sonata form, or the sonnet, or the wall painting Picture Quote #1

My ambition is to construct a painting so that the whole of its surface is alive, however I look at it. Each mark, and the interval between each mark must give something back on its own terms Picture Quote #1

A painting has its own existence and reality, and I make changes freely to meet the painting’s needs. This sometimes takes me in another direction Picture Quote #1

Leaving some areas less finished in a painting, or more out of focus than others, allows the imagination to finish them and gives more importance to the detailed parts Picture Quote #1

Everything in painting is about relationship, so I judge each area by its relationship to the surrounding areas Picture Quote #1

It is important that the painting can be inhabited, so that the mind’s eye, or the eye’s mind, can move about it credibly Picture Quote #1

Every painting has a weakness and a breaking point, where the essence of a painting lies. In my case it is never in the centre Picture Quote #1

Painting requires skill. Photography is created by the camera, and one cannot fully control what the camera sees. So people take many photographs because several must always be discarded Picture Quote #1

My problem painting from my life was I found that you can’t paint dirt without romanticising it Picture Quote #1

Painting comes to reality through illusion. An illusion that allows us to make a leap of faith; to believe. To believe in a blue that can be the wing of a bug or a thought. It makes our invisible visible Picture Quote #1

The best painting comes out of compulsions and obsessions, out of deep love or hate, out of intellectual or emotional involvement with something that lies outside the painting itself Picture Quote #1

Painting, to me, is a unique experience. Each work is a surprise and has its own personal and intuitive meaning. After brainstorming feelings and memories, each painting evolves freely and independently Picture Quote #1

Painting is just a tool; it is nothing in itself. What counts is how you do it Picture Quote #1

Painting is of course multifarious, and for all of us the goal is, gaining control without impeding the creative process Picture Quote #1

Subject becoming less relevant, each painting having a life of its own, each stroke leading to the next. It is more about the connection of body and spirit to canvas, over mind to canvas Picture Quote #1

No matter what techniques I use, I still want to go after the eternal, meaningful aspects of painting Picture Quote #1

For years, I went around the world looking and then painting, but now I have to think first and then paint. It’s driven me to find the design concept first, and to rely on my memory and technical skills to supply only those details that are needed Picture Quote #1

The time that I devote to painting is not a lot of time, but I do it 100 percent while I am working, and then there’s nothing else that counts Picture Quote #1

You may dream freely when you listen to music as well as when you look at painting. When you read a book you are the slave of the author’s mind Picture Quote #1

Collect impressions. Don’t be in a hurry to write them down. Because that’s something music can do better than painting: it can centralise variations of colour and light within a single picture a truth generally ignored, obvious as it is Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re a color of paint on someone else’s palette. But as a director, it’s your canvas and you make the painting you want to make Picture Quote #1

Painting is a means of saying something about one’s self in a beautiful or powerful way that people would like to see, but not hear Picture Quote #1

If you have used colour throughout most of your artistic life, try just black and white... it will take your painting to another dimension where tone and form in all its permutations reign supreme Picture Quote #1

If you start a painting and you don’t like where it’s going, don’t give up on it. Just keep going and follow through. You might be surprised how it ends up Picture Quote #1
