“Until film is just as easily accessible as a pen or pencil, then it's not completely an art form. In painting you can just pick up a piece of chalk, a stick or whatever. In sculpture you can get a rock. Writing you just need a pencil and paper.” NeedsWritingArtFilmFormPiecesRocksPaintingPaperPicksSticksPensPencilsSculptureChalk Author:Forest Whitaker
“You can stick with a few clear-cut values, which are stronger than a multitude of values and will obviously yield a stronger painting. But not all subjects or light conditions appear that way... be sensible and paint with values that are appropriate and faithful to your subject.” WayLightValuesClearCuttingConditionsSubjectsPaintingStrongerSticksPaintFaithfulAppropriateYieldSensibleMultitudes Author:Richard Schmid
“Stothard learned the art of combining colors by closely studying butterflies wings; he would often say that no one knew what he owed to these tiny insects. A burnt stick and a barn door served Wilkie in lieu of pencil and canvas.” ArtStudyDoorsColorPaintingWingsSticksTinyButterflyCanvasInsectsPencilsCombiningBarnsButterfly Wings Book:Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct Source: Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct
“I attended the High School of Industrial Arts and studied with many great artists as painting is something that you never stop learning about. Actually, in high school there was a time that I was thinking about just concentrating on painting and I asked my music teacher, Mr. Sondberg, for advice and he encouraged me to stick with the music as well. So all my life I have been singing and painting.” ThinkingWellsHas BeensArtSchoolArtistTeacherAdvicePaintingSingingHigh SchoolSticksGreat ArtGreat ArtistConcentratingNever Stop LearningMusic Teacher Author:Tony Bennett
