Painting is traditional but for me that doesn't mean the academy. I felt a need to paint I love painting. It was something natural - as is listening to music or playing an instrument for some people. For this reason I searched for themes of my era and my generation. Photography offered this, so I chose it as a medium for painting.
Gerhard Richter
Image
Paint what you really see, not what you think you ought to see not the object isolated as in a test tube, but the object enveloped in sunlight and atmosphere, with the blue dome of Heaven reflected in the shadows.
Claude Monet
Image
Painting is a lot harder than pickin' cotton. Cotton's right there for you to pull off the stalk, but to paint, you got to sweat your mind.
Clementine Hunter
Image
Paint what you see and look with your own eyes.
Gilbert Stuart
Image
Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. I don't know what a painting is who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere.
Philip Guston
Image
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
Jackson Pollock
Image
Painting someone's portrait is, of course, an impossible task. What an absurd idea to try and distil a human being, the most complex organism on the planet, into flicks, washes, and blobs of paint on a two-dimensional surface.
David Cobley
Image
Paint your picture by means of the lights. Lights define texture and color - shadows define form.
Howard Pyle
Image
Painters love paint itself: so much that they spend years trying to get paint to behave the way they want it to.
James Elkins
Image
Painting seems an old man's business. After a certain time you're out of it, and you just paint masterpieces.
Alex Katz
Image
Paint with joy - with the same joy that you would make love to a woman.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Image
Painting has always been a means of self-expression for me. Therefore, I paint because I have to and need to, not necessarily because I want to. Subconsciously or not, the figures I paint are a reflection of myself and whatever mood I am in at the time, so every painting is in essence a self-portrait.
Lori Earley

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like a breath on the surface of a pane of glass.
James Whistler
Image
Painting is an unspoken and largely unrecognized dialogue, where paint speaks silently in masses and colors and the artist responds in moods.
James Elkins
Image
Painters get up and paint. Writers get up and write. I like to get up and act. It's not a big deal. It makes me happy.
Samuel L. Jackson
Image
Painting is the act of discovery and you're constantly enlarging your horizon or finding yourself every time you paint.
Romare Bearden
Image
Painters paint, and history continues to make fools of curators.
Robert Genn
Image
Painting, like water, takes any form. Paint is a film of pigment on a plane. It is not real in the way that gravity-bound sculpture is real. It is, however, real.
Squeak Carnwath
Image
Paintings are painted with paint, not with ideas.
Stephane Mallarme
Image
Paint here no draped despairs, no saddening clouds, Where the soul rests, proclaims eternity. But let the wrong cry out as raw as wounds, This Time forgets and never heals, far less transcends.
Stephen Spender
Image
Paint what you see, not what you know.
Charles Webster Hawthorne
Image
Painters must speak through paint, not through words.
