“I don't work from drawings and colour sketches into a final painting. Painting, I think, today - the more immediate, the more direct - the greater the possibilities of making a direct - of making a statement.” ThinkingTodayGreaterPossibilityPaintingDirectFinalsDrawingStatementsColour Book:Jackson Pollock Source: Jackson Pollock
“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
“Paintings must be understood through the eyes, and that's not the word either. No writing, no talking, no singing, no dancing will explain them. They are the final, the nth whoopee of sight.” WritingEyeTalkingPaintingSingingUnderstoodSightDancingFinalsThrough The Eyes Author:Charles Demuth
“I personally prefer working digitally because it allows me to work quickly and cleanly. I don't have to buy paint or brushes or canvases, I don't have to wait for paintings to dry before sending them to clients, I don't have to photograph or scan my final work, and I can make edits immediately and easily.” I CanWaitingPaintingPaintFinalsPhotographDryClientsBrushesEdits Author:Julie Dillon
“I do very, very, very simple, skimpy doodles, nothing too committed. Because people tend to fall in love if they like it - if you color it in and they like it, then they want exactly those colors, even if they were just indications. You really have to do it as simple as possible so they can concentrate on the idea and composition. And then all of the energy goes into making the final piece. And the final piece can be anything - it can be a drawing, a painting, a collage - and usually, it's obvious what that should be. Usually, the idea dictates what medium you use.” PeopleIfsWantShouldIdeasUseFallEnergySimplePiecesColorPaintingFalling In LoveFinalsCommittedObviousDrawingMediumsCompositionIndicationCollages Author:Dave McKean
“To my way of thinking, the concept drawings that Rembrandt did, the drawings he made that he used to model his artists, to work out the compositions of his paintings: those are cartoons. Look at his sketch for the return of the prodigal son. The expression on the angry younger brother's face. The head is down; the eyebrow is just one curved line over the eyes. It communicates in a very shorthand way. It's beautiful, expressive, and, in a peculiar way, it's more powerful than the kind of stilted, formalized expression in the final painting.” ThinkingWayLooksKindMadeEyeBeautifulFacesUsedArtistLinesPowerfulPaintingSonBrotherExpressionReturnModelsConceptsAngryFinalsCommunicateWork OutDrawingMy WayJust OnePeculiarCompositionCartoonEyebrowsWay Of ThinkingExpressiveProdigalsShorthandYounger BrotherProdigal Son Author:Jim Woodring
“I think it was Roger Fry who first coined what he took to be a final definition of a work of art, whether it was a painting, building, poem or Hepplewhite chair.

“[When] I am taking a photograph, I am conscious that I am constructing images rather than taking snapshots. Since I do not take rapid photographs it is in this respect like a painting which takes a long time where you are very aware of what you are doing in the process. Exposure is only the final act of making the image as a photograph.” LongProcessPaintingLong TimeConsciousFinalsPhotographWhere You AreExposureRapidsSnapshots Author:Thomas Struth
