I really enjoy squeezing out a big lump of paint directly onto the canvas and leaving it; fresh, immediate and sometimes shocking.

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.

It's funny that all these goths paint their faces with such white make-up and that is the actual colour of my skin, I am that pale!

As long as you can change paint, you don't change. For you to change - for paint to do something to you - paint must stay constant.

Women don't paint very well. It's a fact. There are, of course, exceptions. Agnes Martin or, from the past, Paula Modersohn-Becker.

Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.

You can actually take people with these precancerous lesions, and basically paint black raspberries on them, and they nearly vanish.

I think it would be better if nobody owned anything, but they didn't starve. Had enough paint and enough pianos and everything else.

Every once in a while I go off to do a movie or a television series and I take my art with me. I can stay in character when I paint.

Movies were always the goal, but I had a lot of goals. Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance.

At this point, in 2008, if you put out a book, a movie, or write a verse, paint a painting, it should have some sort of social value.

Don't paint a nasty picture of your exes. We'll justifiably wonder what made you stay in those heinous situations in the first place.

I think that I can get into the paint anytime I want to. What I have learned is that when I do get into the paint, I do have options.

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

I don't like acrylic because you can't get the density of color. And with each coat of oil paint, the surface gets better and richer.

I used to be a nanny and the kids used to laugh at me when I'd say 'Shall we paint something?' They just wanted to go on their iPads.

If you want to paint the inner life, you paint it from the exterior. From the exterior, you breathe the inner life into your painting.

I've had people accuse me of being too tough of a grader. But my job is to paint reality versus telling people what they want to hear.

I like to paint, I'm absolutely no good at it, but I'm so comfortable with that because it's good for me to have something to fail at.

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.

Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas upon which the women paint their dreams.

I have continued to paint; my father - who was savaged by the critics - continued to paint until practically the last week of his life.

My best days do seem like a distillation of all that was best about school. Write a story! Paint a picture! Write a poem! Make a print!

In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster.

When I was a child, I used to paint intently. The older I become, and the closer death approaches, the brighter my life gets day by day.

It's not what you paint. It's how you paint it. You don't have to paint elaborate things. Paint simple things as beautifully as you can.

People are really capable if you're able to give them the confidence to get something done and paint the picture of where we need to go.

I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.

Every year, my boys and I create new cool gift wrap paper. We hand paint the design and come up with interesting ways to wrap each gift.

I often find that people want to paint themselves one colour - like, 'I'm the baddie' - and they've always got this snarl on their face.

I think we're all born with this huge canvas in front of us and the paintbrushes and the paint, and we choose what to put on this canvas.

I'm quite arty. I didn't know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.

Paint and new flooring are simple refreshers. But it's not worth it to update all the kitchen cabinets if it's still the same bad layout.

God is not remote from us. He is at the point of my pen, my (pick) shovel, my paint brush, my (sewing) needle - and my heart and thoughts.

I love writing for women. The willingness to go from laughter to tears in a moment is the greatest palette you can paint with as a writer.

Every play I do, every book I write, every painting I paint, I will struggle with. I don't know what it's like for a project to come easy.

I was influenced by people like David Fincher and William Friedkin, and these directors who kinda paint their films with these dark shades.

I just try to make the right play, stay aggressive and defensively just do what I do. I make sure I talk to everyone and control the paint.

Picasso took scraps of wallpaper, and instead of using paint and a brush, he used all the existing elements which he made his artwork with.

When you're not a mom, you can get up in the middle of the night, paint, sleep all morning... you can't do that when you have two children!

No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.

It is terrible to have to ask for anything ever. We wish we were something that needed nothing, like paint. But even paint needs repainting.

I was not out to paint beautiful pictures; even painting good pictures was not important to me. I wanted only to help the truth burst forth.

Growing up in South Jersey, I have always been an Eagles fan. I don't paint my face or anything like that, but I deeply care about the team.

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

There's nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.

I think if you're a painter, you paint; if you're a golfer, you golf; if you're a fisherman, you fish; if you're a musician, you play music.

Shakespeare's words paint pictures in glorious colour in my language. They were written by a man whose use of words fits exactly into Xhosa.

I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true.

What I love to do is paint people's faces, y'know, their eyes. Because you want to find that emotion, see what's going on behind their eyes.
