One learns about painting by looking at and imitating other painters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.
Real painters understand with a brush in their hand.
Well, one always has an instinct to be a painter, and I've done quite a lot of painting at one time or another, though not with any public success.
I've been taking art lessons since I was little, and I've always drawn. I think in pictures.
The truth is that painting is all about scale; you use scale to create experience. A lot of artists have lost that ability. They don't even know that's something they should be doing.
Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.
Our experience of any painting is always the latest line in a long conversation we've been having with painting. There's no way of looking at art as though you hadn't seen art before.
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
