I choose to paint beauty.
Igor Babailov
Image
Insecurity prevents young artists from 'flying' and older artists from being 'down to earth.' Young artists should work on their confidence and the older ones on their humility.
Igor Babailov
Image
Envy derives from insecurity.

Painting requires skill. Photography is created by the camera, and one cannot fully control what the camera sees. So people take many photographs because several must always be discarded.
Igor Babailov
Image
Portrait painters' mission is to portray people and the beauty of Creation. They should stay clear of ego.
Igor Babailov
Image
Painting should educate and enrich. Modern painting merely offers a split-second emotion: You see it, you have an instant reaction and move on. Instead, real painting can be looked at over and over again and each time it has something new.
Igor Babailov
Image
In visual art it's better once to see, than one hundred times to hear.

Artists with a capital 'A' are at ease working in all areas of art, whether it is a contemporary abstract painting or work requiring methods and techniques of the Renaissance Masters.
Igor Babailov
Image
Whether it is drawing or painting, skilled Artists usually deliver a faster result without jeopardizing the quality, simply because they don't have to waste their time on fixing mistakes.
Igor Babailov
Image
Artists with the lack of proper education and experience of working from life will copy whatever is visible on the photograph, without knowing what's underneath. As a result, instead of creating the in-depth and full of character portrait, they draw a mask with no soul.
Igor Babailov
Image
We're all God's children. We are all special people, and the Pope is no different.
Igor Babailov
Image
It is far easier to debate about realistic painting than to paint one.
Igor Babailov
Image
The purpose of Art Education is to teach you how to draw.
Igor Babailov
Image
The more you paint the more fluent you are with your brush.
Igor Babailov
Image
Art Education is as important for a realist artist as an Alphabet is to learn a language.
Igor Babailov
Image
Perhaps one of the most essential exercises in learning to paint is the copying of master works in the museums.
