“Looking for the essence of beauty is comprehending and appreciating that quality in an object which is fairer and better than only what our eyes see or our ears hear, whether that be a patch of blue in an overcast sky, the fleeting laughter from a voice we love, or something as unexpected as the rainbow colors in a spot of oil on the driveway.” EyeVoiceQualityBeautySkyObjectsColorLaughterAppreciateEssenceEarsBlueOilSpotsUnexpectedRainbowFleetingPatchesComprehendingDrivewayOvercastEssence Of Beauty Book:You Bring the Confetti Source: You Bring the Confetti
“When I was thirteen or fourteen I bought a paintbox with oil paints from money slowly saved up.

“For me, painting is that magical material, that beautiful stuff that was invented, the ground-up pigments in oil which makes it very malleable. It can be manipulated and changed, darkened, lightened, given different hues and colors, so that by manipulating this material somehow I can find that figure I'm looking for, that figure that represents all the issues I'm bringing up and addressing.” I CanDifferentBeautifulGivenStuffIssuesFiguresChangedColorPaintingMaterialsOilMediumsHuePigment Author:Nathan Oliveira
“Values create dimension, but color usually receives all of the attention. When painting with oils, placing dark and light pigments next to each other can be an accident waiting to happen.” LightHappensValuesNextWaitingDarkAttentionColorPaintingOilAccidentsDimensionsPigment Author:Robert Warren
“Avoid connecting yourself with characters whose good and bad sides are unmixed and have not fermented together; they resemble vials of vinegar and oil; or palletts set with colors; they are either excellent at home and insufferable abroad, or intolerable within doors and excellent in public; they are unfit for friendship, merely because their stamina, their ingredients of character are too single, too much apart; let them be finely ground up with each other, and they are incomparable.” CharacterHomeTogetherSidesToo MuchDoorsColorOilExcellentIngredientsConnectingGood And BadStaminaIncomparableVinegarInsufferable Author:Johann Kaspar Lavater
“The existence of a medium, after all, is its absolute justification, if as so many seem to think, it needs one and all comparison of potentialities is useless and irrelevant. Whether a water-color is inferior to an oil, or whether a drawing, an etching, or a photograph is not as important as either, is inconsequent. To have to despise something in order to respect something else is a sign of impotence.

“I always carry around a giant makeup case with about fifteen items in it. I so want to be the girl who just carries lipstick as if that's all I need, but I'm just not that girl. I need my lipstick, but then, just in case my cheeks start to lose their color, I need my blush. Then I'll need my oil pads...so I just take the whole thing. And now I need a full on fashionable backpack for it all!” IfsWantNeedsWholeGirlLosesCasesColorOilGiantsMakeupCarrieCheeksFifteenItemsFashionableLipstickThat GirlPads Author:Analeigh Tipton
