“When we digital artists talk about painting on the computer, that is exactly what we do. The paints we use are pixels, the brush we use is a pressure sensitive pen. The colors are the same as painters use, and how we get to the final image is the same gut wrenching way.” WayUseArtistColorPaintingComputerPressurePaintFinalsPainterSensitiveGutsDigitalPensBrushesPixels Author:Donald Lambert
“I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.” ThinkingKindFormPaintingFindingsComputerPaintPainterImaginaryRobots Author:Damien Hirst
“I trained as a painter, and I still love painting, but eventually I became aware that the physical aspect of painting didn't really suit me. I didn't enjoy working in the medium. It's very messy. I prefer to have it clean, with a nice computer.” StillsEnjoyNicePaintingComputerAspectCleanMediumsPainterSuitsMessy Author:Loretta Lux
“The essential characteristic of digital information is that it can be manipulated easily and very rapidly by computer... Computational tools for transforming, combining, altering, and analyzing images are as essential to the digital artist as brushes and pigments to a painter.” ArtistInformationEssentialsComputerToolsPainterCharacteristicsDigitalBrushesTransformingCombiningAnalyzingPigment Book:The Reconfigured Eye: Visual Truth in the Post-photographic Era Source: The Reconfigured Eye: Visual Truth in the Post-photographic Era
“To all the secret writers, late-night painters, would-be singers, lapsed and scared artists of every stripe, dig out your paintbrush, or your flute, or your dancing shoes. Pull out your camera or your computer or your pottery wheel. Today, tonight, after the kids are in bed or when your homework is done, or instead of one more video game or magazine, create something, anything. Pick up a needle and thread, and stitch together something particular and honest and beautiful, because we need it. I need it. Thank you, and keep going.” NeedsDoneWould BeKidsTodayTogetherBeautifulArtistNightGamesSecretHonestParticularBedComputerLatePicksCamerasDancingShoesScaredSingersVideoPainterMagazinesWheelsTonightKeep GoingThreadNeedlesHomeworkStripesFlutesLate NightPotteryStitchesPaintbrushNeedle And Thread Author:Shauna Niequist
“I've never considered soundtracks for what I write. Nor have I considered computer drawing or painting. As a painter, I'm still trying to perfect what I started out doing with brushes, pen and ink, paint, etc. The transition, for me, from typewriter to computer was a big step. I am now very comfortable with writing on a computer but it took awhile. Because I did make that big step I won't rule out what happens in the future.” WritingTryingPerfectPaintingComputerPaintPainterPens Author:Clarence Major
