Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Method is much, technique is much, but inspiration is even more.
Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it.
Sometimes technique works better than a whole lot of other things.
Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it.
The point is that there are challenges within techniques. When you differentiate in technique, you challenge yourself; you ask yourself the same question in a new way.
Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.
You can practice to learn a technique, but I'm more interested in conceiving of something in the moment.
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
Everybody has many people inside of them; I think we tend to present the one we feel is most appropriate at first, in order to gain acceptance or achieve what we want. It gets really interesting when this technique fails, and other levels are revealed.
Technique is the basis of every pursuit. If you're a sportsman or you're a singer or a swimmer, well that comes under sport but you have to develop a basic technique to know what you're doing at any given time.
