Text Quotes
However exquisite the contours or the colours of clouds, trees, rivers or hills, may be in themselves, they must be sacrificed if they do not conform with the general plan (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
In large studio paintings... composition, or arrangement, may be better studied, and nearer perfection, washes may be more suavely graded (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
A painter may be an abandoned mimic; at school he copies his teachers, which is only right, but he copies in turn every artist in town, which is not. He may do you that honour (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The importance of colour is as nothing compared with that of form, chiaroscuro and arrangement. They are the true and enduring bases of pictorial art (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
I don’t like to think that I am a slave to technique, or so inept that I have to restrict myself to one method (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The most admirable method is that by which each wash of colour, large or small, is never disturbed. It admits of practically no overpainting, sponging or scrubbing. The colour stays where it is put (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
A horizontal or vertical line lacks energy, compared with one that deviates from either. The difference between these graphic expressions is the difference between movement and repose (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Water is the most expressive element in nature. It responds to every mood from tranquility to turbulence (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Do not think me fussy when I specify tidiness. It is essential... In printing, remember that cleanliness and order wait upon success (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
It is evident that no derivative laws can teach the young student to see and apprehend colour in nature. His perception needs development as urgently as his muscles (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Aerial perspective has nothing to do with line, but concerns tones and colours, by the delicate manipulation of which an artist can suggest infinite distance (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Many cherish the idea that a photograph is an exact presentment of nature, and accept without question the paradox that a photograph cannot lie. Actually there never was a more unmitigated liar (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Realism is condemned by those artists whose poverty of technique does not permit them to express it (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The deserving are not always blest. That peculiar attribute known as personality is as potent a factor as genius (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The most interesting studio work, and perhaps the most practicable, is painting from pencil sketches and notes... It ensures the elimination of all facts but those essential to the effect (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Style is instinctive and few achieve it in a notable degree. Its development is not hastened by instruction. It comes or it doesn’t. It will take care of itself (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Etching will suggest subtle variations of tone, the most delicate shadings, all with black lines, which, as far as lines go, are unsurpassed for sheer beauty (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Take away a painter’s vanity, said a famous landscape painter, and he will never touch a pencil again (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
It is remarkable how very individual technique becomes in watercolour. Every man of personality finally arrives at a method peculiarly his own, as unique as his own fingerprint (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The public is the tribunal before which all art is judged - not the critics or the academies. The public is the artist’s only patron, and has certain fundamental rights. It will submit to education, and will respond to suggestion, but it will not be bullied (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
A landscape painting is essentially emotional in origin. It exists as a record of an effect in nature whose splendour has moved a human heart, and according as it is well or ill done it moves the hearts of others (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Perhaps the ideal life is that of the week-end artist, who preserves the integrity of his own aesthetic ideals because of his economic independence... If his daily grind is hateful he has his weekly solace in art (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The syllogism art for art’s sake refers to that kind of painting which disregards, or is contrary to, public taste. (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Beauty, pleasure, and the good things of life are intensified, and perhaps only exist, by reason of contrast. (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Etching will suggest subtle variations of tone, the most delicate shadings, all with black lines, which, as far as lines go, are unsurpassed for sheer beauty. (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
There is the process of enlarging a watercolour, which actually amounts to copying its good points and improving its bad ones, and is interesting proportionately as the latter increase. (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Many of the old masters of watercolour painted from notes, with enthusiasm either unabated or renewed. It is hard to assume the same degree of concentration in the studio, but not impossible (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The beauties of conception are always superior to those of expression (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
Be content with nothing less than perfection (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
The play of sunlight is amusement enough for a lazy man (Walter J Phillips Quotes)
