Paintings Quotes (page 13)

In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster. John O'Neill
I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it's important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that. Keith Haring
I don't have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off. Mike Thompson
Ernst Haas quote: "All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris...."
All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty paints and when it painted most, I shot. Ernst Haas
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art. Marc Chagall
Paul Cezanne quote: "For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the..."
For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations. Paul Cezanne
Aime Cesaire quote: "It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength..."
It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint. Aime Cesaire
I've just finished my 20th book this past year and I'm working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I'll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research, I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I'm an artist too. Jimmy Carter
You know when you take the paint off an old canvas and you discover that something's been painted underneath it? That's what I feel like - that part of the old is coming through the new. Carly Simon
Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don't look at it as if it were some kind of oddity. Roy Lichtenstein
Max Cannon quote: "I hope to actually get back to painting someday... soon. I..."
I hope to actually get back to painting someday... soon. I sort of transitioned into cartooning from painting. Max Cannon
Albert Camus quote: "It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting."
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting. Albert Camus
The essence of paint ball is the fact that when you get hit by a ball full of paint, it hurts just enough to say, 'Ow, I gotta get out of the way,' but not enough to say, 'I quit.' William Shatner
An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint. Ben Shahn
On occasion I have drawn as a release from painting. The economy in using paper, pencil, charcoal and crayon can help towards a greater gamble and higher rewards. I also find that drawing can generate ideas more rapidly than painting. William Scott
