Painting Quotes

By merely increasing or decreasing the amount of contrast in any area we can move the observer through the painting Picture Quote #1

When a painting problem crops up, don’t rush to fix it. You probably already know one way to fix it, but wait for something else to show up... invite the muses to bring you a new solution Picture Quote #1

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I’ve been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I’ve tried to do landscapes a few times Picture Quote #1

What is bad painting? Picabia made some deliberately bad paintings, but they were by him, so great in a way Picture Quote #1

A painting is merely the image of a tree, a man, or any other object reflected in a fountain. The difference between a painting and sculpture is the difference between a shadow and the thing which casts it Picture Quote #1

Make a child a painting and he’ll be happy for a day. Teach a child to paint and he’ll be miserable for a lifetime Picture Quote #1

You have to live in a state of thinking your painting is good, or you couldn’t do it Picture Quote #1

The scope of art is practically boundless; it does not begin and end with the painting of pictures and the modeling of statues; where there is room for workmanship there is room for it Picture Quote #1

Not everybody has a talent for painting, or for the piano, or for dance. But we can write our way into the artist’s head and into his problems and solutions. Or we can go there with another writer Picture Quote #1

The sentences I write have their roots in song and poetry, and take their bearings from music and painting, as much as from the need to impart mere information, or mirror anything. I am not a realist writer, even if I seem like one Picture Quote #1

Music is a lot more like solving an intricate puzzle with moments of pure, random creative bliss... whereas painting is much more purely random creative bliss with moments of problem solving Picture Quote #1

If I had a musical identity that was definable then it would be time to get into painting or something else. Race car driving Picture Quote #1

The trick is not to get too fanatical about getting the accent too accurate because then that becomes a mask. What I try to do is just painting and sketching some of the sounds without obliterating my own voice Picture Quote #1

I have to study politics and war so that my sons can study mathematics, commerce and agriculture, so their sons can study poetry, painting and music Picture Quote #1

He who has learned what is commonly considered the whole art of painting, that is, the art of representing any natural object faithfully, has as yet only learned the language by which his thoughts are to be expressed Picture Quote #1

I’m painting so much that I don’t listen to much music. Because music is another creative outlet, it’s a huge distraction for me when I paint Picture Quote #1

The only thing in life that really gives me any peace is just being lost in the process of creating something, whether it’s the film or painting and drawing. Whatever that is, it is what I want to do Picture Quote #1

It’s important to be yourself. What art does for everyone, helps you understand yourself and in a distilled way, whether it’s a painting or a scene in acting or a joke. It distills something about everyday life that can be important to you Picture Quote #1

People know that I always do my hair and makeup, but I also love doing crafts. I love getting a blank canvas and painting something Picture Quote #1
