A simple equation for the production of successful art work is lots of reference material plus lots of art supplies equals lots of painting happiness.
Robert Genn
Image
The guy may be totally motivated, connected and inspired, but if he doesn't know how to do it, he's not the guy to take out your appendix.

By thinking you are cleverer and more talented than your buddies, many a career has been blotted.
Robert Genn
Image
Art is a course in personal development that has no reliable diploma and no known end. The pursuit of art instructs in beauty as well as ugliness, fantasy as well as common sense. Art levels souls and baffles brains. Art softens pain because it is pain. Art gives joy because it is joy.

Robert Genn
Image
Objects are held by the backgrounds that are cut into them.
Robert Genn
Image
When shucked and released from its edges, the windowless subject stands alone as its own thing.
Robert Genn
Image
Fact is, perfection is boring.
Robert Genn
Image
We artists allow others to see through our windows.
Robert Genn
Image
It's better to have a small diamond than a large piece of glass.
Robert Genn
Image
Landscape painting tends to fall under more academic controls. I must say I often like working within these controls. It gives me the feeling that I'm taking part in a noble tradition.
Robert Genn
Image
Watch the greater image materialize. You need that thing over there to tell you what to do about that thing over here.
Robert Genn
Image
Exploit a subject or a theme to its greatest potential by bringing all possible reference to bear - then put aside the reference and create again using the potential of your unfettered imagination.
