With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature.

Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
You think you're developing and getting better and then you see something you did years ago. Looking at your early work.. sometimes it has a depth that surprises you.
Andrew Wyeth
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.
Andrew Wyeth
I've tried never to be easily satisfied, and I've been painting like fury now for forty years.... I have a feeling. You paint about as far as your emotions go, and that's about it.
Andrew Wyeth
There's a quote from Hamlet that is my guide... He tells the players not to exaggerate but to hold a mirror up to nature. Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
Most artists look for something fresh to paint frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.
Andrew Wyeth
I can't work completely out of my imagination-I must put my foot in a bit of truth-and then I can fly free.
Andrew Wyeth
Well, being the youngest child and frail, I was left alone a great deal of the time.
Andrew Wyeth
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
Andrew Wyeth
I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.
Andrew Wyeth
I get letters from people about my work. The thing that pleases me most is that my work touches their feelings. In fact, they don't talk about the paintings. They end up telling me the story of their life or how their father died.
Andrew Wyeth
What you have to do is break all the rules.
Andrew Wyeth
If somehow I can, before I leave this earth, combine my absolutely mad freedom and excitement with truth, then I will have done something.
Andrew Wyeth
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
I've never studied the Japanese. That's something that must have crept in there. But the Japanese are my biggest clients. They seem to like the elemental quality.
Andrew Wyeth
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
Andrew Wyeth
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
Andrew Wyeth
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
