Painting And Drawing Quotes

I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing. John Dyer
I've been painting and drawing and taking pictures as long as I've been writing music - and I've actually been drawing longer than I've been writing music. Brandon Boyd
I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment. P. J. Harvey
I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true. Gustav Klimt
Russell Banks quote: "Although I still occasionally paint and draw, my life has now..."
Although I still occasionally paint and draw, my life has now been shaped by my writing. Russell Banks
But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it. Roy Lichtenstein
I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic, to the level of romantic fairy-story - the larger founded on the lesser in contact with the earth, the lesser drawing splendour from the vast backcloths - which I could dedicate simply to: to England; to my country. ... I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope... J. R. R. Tolkien
Jackson Pollock quote: "I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings..."
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting. Jackson Pollock
I felt the need to get back to painting and I thought the best way was to start drawing, so I enrolled in a life drawing class. I soon discovered that people made very interesting subjects and I am still surprised that I had never discovered it before. Peter Wright
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some. Robert Fulghum
I like to write and draw and paint, and my mom's an artist, so I think I get caught up in thinking, 'I'm afraid it's gonna be bad,' and it's hard for me to start sometimes. Kristen Wiig
What she did was to open our eyes to details of country life such as teaching us names of wild flowers and getting us to draw and paint and learn poetry. Laurie Lee
In our own time it has been seen... that simple children, roughly brought up in the wilderness, have begun to draw by themselves, impelled by their own natural genius, instructed solely by the example of these beautiful paintings and sculptures of Nature. Giorgio Vasari
And more even than the painter, the writer, in order to achieve volume and substance, in order to attain to generality and, so far as literature can, to reality, needs to have seen many churches in order to paint one church and for the portrayal of a single sentiment requires many individuals. For if art is long and life is short, we may on the other hand say that, if inspiration is short, the sentiments which it has to portray are not of much longer duration. It is our passions which draw... Marcel Proust
Pierre Bonnard quote: "And after drawing comes composition. A well-composed painting..."
And after drawing comes composition. A well-composed painting is half done Pierre Bonnard
