More quotes by Buffy Sainte-Marie
We also have the option of scanning in an image from outside the computer... a photo, or a sketch done with traditional tools and we can then paint, manipulate, process, change, and further develop the image within the computer, watching our progress on the monitor.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The key is in remaining just aloof enough from a painting so that you know when to stop.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Digital imaging allows both groups to rise above the limitations of mess and clutter and mechanics, and apply our talents to creating images limited only by our imaginations.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar...Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel...This song (Until It's Time for You To Go) popped into my head while I was falling in love with someone I knew couldn't stay with me. The words are about honesty and freedom inside the heart.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Another time factor is output: proofing and printing. That is, getting your work out of the computer and onto paper and having it satisfy you. It can be time consuming and expensive.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Children don't have to be raised. They'll grow.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
What can government do? They can listen to their own people. But I'll tell you what citizens can do, when we elect one of these people - whether we think it's a good guy or a bozo - you got to stay on the case. You don't vote and go home and give them the keys to the car, he'll drive you right off a cliff. You have to help people to stay honest.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Sixteen million colors in your palette are hard for any artist, especially a beginner, to turn down.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
He's a Catholic, a Hindy, an atheist, a Chein, a Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew, and he knows, he shouldn't kill.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I sang a song in Hindi nobody even knew what that was. Singing about Native American issues, nobody did that... I had no reason to want to copy anybody else... All I had was my originality.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Grab a guitar, put some kind of strings on it, a banjo string, then a violin string, then a guitar string, tune it any way you want, and make some noise, and see what you get. And work on it until you get something that you think is interesting. That's all there is to art for me.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I work closely with the printer to get the final print the way I want it.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I'm trying to entice people, and sometimes my information is very hard hitting. So I've always wanted to have a soft approach.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
There is so much joy in native culture but so much poverty. It's very disturbing.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I was playing with sound like I would have played with pots and pans as a kid.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
I feel sorry for people of good heart who have never had a chance to learn the realities of Native American everything - not just our history but the sweetness and the beauty and the reasons why were so close to Mother Earth.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
