My sister-in-law is a painter, and I'll say, how long did it take you to paint that painting. She'll say, It took me maybe three days, but it took me all my life to get the skills to paint that painting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The time that I devote to painting is not a lot of time, but I do it 100 percent while I am working, and then there's nothing else that counts.
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
I've painted in the past, but I only average about one painting a year, and the last painting I did, I actually really liked.
I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.
The most difficult thing about painting is the self-discipline. When I finish a job, I give myself a few days, but then I have to discipline myself quite fiercely if I want to do some painting that's worthwhile. Otherwise, you're just doodling. It's much easier when you're just told what you have to do.
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.
I know how long it takes me to draw a page, how long it takes me to complete a project, how long I can work before my hand gives out, that sort of thing.
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
Within one hour of touching the brush to canvas for the first time, my students have a total, complete painting.
