The business of peace requires more than showing up with paint brushes, foodstuffs and an oil pipeline or two.
Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.
My idea is to paint paintings so that when you walk into a room, I’m pulling you in, or that makes you suddenly stop and wonder: ‘What is this? There is something groovy, something else going on here.’ Also, I want to give you what is obvious and what is not obvious to the eye.
The ocean is 90% unexplored. It’s a great canvas to paint Aquaman stories across, just like Green Lantern has space. It’s more organic, which makes it different and interesting. It’s alien, but it’s terrestrial.
If you own face paint and a bulb horn and you’re not a circus clown, you might be uncool.
When the campaign ends, and you are home, the alarm clock is the same, but you don’t know where to start after it goes off: expense reports, new stories, the crusted paint cans that have to go to the hazardous-waste disposal site, the wiper blade on the Honda that has gone droopy.
I constantly modify myself. There are downfalls to that because you are constantly trying to figure out who you are, but at the same time, I’m blessed with the lack of base paint on the canvas.
If you’re an artist, you need to work. It doesn’t matter how old you are, who you are. It doesn’t matter if you’re 12: if you draw, you draw. If you’re 85 and you paint, you paint.
My daughter gets to paint my nails and put clips in my hair, and I love it.
I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.
The most expensive part of any manufacturing unit is the paint shop.
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.
I think that there was a lot of undisclosed money that came into South Dakota, driving a message to paint me as a Washington partisan, which I don’t believe that I am, but it was a message that resonated, after pounding it away for a number of weeks.
My sin as a painter is that I just want to paint anything I want to paint – and repaint.
Some people like to paint trees. I like to paint love. I find it more meaningful than painting trees.
A way you can get really good abs in film is you get your makeup artist to paint shadows – faux washboard. But if you see me in a movie and I have great abs, it means I have a great body double.
I had a quite unconventional childhood, in the sense that I traveled a lot and I went to 10 or 11 schools. I was completely confused academically, but wherever I went, I could paint. I painted an inordinate amount.
During a color consultation, I like to reference food as a visual. Hot fudge and orange marmalade paint a clearer picture and helps prevent end results that leave you feeling unsatisfied.
I don’t really want to get too heavy, you know. I still want to be able to move in the paint.
There were times when I’d go to lawyer auditions, and everyone’s in a suit, and I’m covered in concrete and paint.
It depends on where you put the paint, not how much you splash on.
If I inherited a billion dollars and didn’t have to work ever again, what would I do to fill my day? I’d paint, I’d write jokes and stories, and I’d hang out and chat to very interesting people.
I would love to learn how to paint motorcycles and stuff like that. I really, really am fascinated by that.
Brushes are crucial for applying glazes, sauces, and oils. The pastry brushes that you find in homestores can be pricey so pay a visit to your local hardware store and pick up a few paint brushes which are less expensive and work equally as well.
I paint and sculpt to get a grip on reality… to protect myself.
I’ve always felt like an artistic person. I can’t draw or paint or sculpt. I never really had technical skills, but I’ve always felt like I appreciate really beautiful things, and part of taking a good photograph is being able to recognize beauty.
I can’t paint as well as Vermeer.
I paint because I love to paint. If someone buys the prints or whatever, so be it, but it’s not my main form of business. As a performer, that is my main form of business.
On a piece of prose, you have to work at least six hours a day. I don’t know how you can do that and teach and raise a kid and paint the house.
Yeah, in my scripts, I don’t tend to describe landscape too clearly because I like to keep it really basic and sort of let people paint their own picture. I don’t find it helpful to spend a page describing a setting, except for maybe a few key things.
I’m not going to say paint is an easy spruce-up. It takes time, it needs touch-ups, and you have to be very methodical. But it is worth it, and it isn’t particularly expensive.
Some people like to paint and sing. We like to create and build.
Iranian parents can’t stop their children. They’re just wild – they want to party, they want their rights, they want to paint, they want to dance. No one can stop these new generations coming. That’s why Iran has to open up: it’s like a pot full of hot water, vapour and steam.
If music ever needs FDA approval in the future, bands like this will be the reason why; Magic Kids’ sugar-coated songs paint a mental picture of smiling clouds and double rainbows, with a unicorn or two tossed in for good measure.
Oh, I paint all the time.
Media is a double-edged sword and has the power to change hearts and minds through authentic storytelling as well as the power to paint a person, or an entire community, in a dim and misleading light.
I love paint. I like watercolours. I like acrylic paint… a little bit. I like house paint. I like oil-based paint, and I love oil paint. I love the smell of turpentine and I like that world of oil paint very, very, very much.
The real sustains the same relation to the ideal that a stone does to a statue – or that paint does to a painting. Realism degrades and impoverishes.
I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.
I want to paint. That is probably going to sound so pretentious coming from someone who’s been a musician.
I’ve always loved to paint – I was studying to do an art degree when I was approached to become a model – and I’ve being doing some design work as well. I also love just having a quiet time, sitting in my little library at home in Brooklyn and reading or watching documentaries or listening to music.
Whenever I am sad, I paint, I do that whenever I am happy too.
There a lot of other things I love to do. I consider myself as an artist, so I dance, I paint, I sing, so as long as I’m creating, I’m happy.
The focus in the Western pictorial tradition is on the body of Christ, the bit you can paint, the Nativity and the infancy, but above all the Passion, where you can find images for every stage and every moment.
I’m not particularly interested in painting, per se. I’m interested in a painting that has that mysterious life to it. Anything that doesn’t partake of that magic is halfway dead – it returns to its physical elements, it’s just paint and canvas.
Wanting to be understood by an audience that didn’t know Russian, I tried to paint musical pictures by emphasizing the phrasing, using voice color more boldly, and varying the shade and nuance.
I’ve come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I’ve designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I’ve done conceptual art pictures.
Social media is awesome because I can somewhat paint myself the way I want people to see me.
No one purposefully paints a bad painting. It’s someone who’s trying to do a good painting, but it’s terrible. I have one with a matador, and the bull is going through the blanket. You can tell the painter didn’t know how to paint it.
Pablo Picasso would paint a painting and hang it on the wall, and you would go and see the painting exactly how he wanted it to be made. But if you have an idea for a TV show, for example, you’re beholden to studios to produce it and distributors to distribute it.
Sure, the Internet is the future, but what we do on the Internet is still very primal. It’s all about connecting to other people, sharing emotion. It’s our new feathers or face paint. It’s all very raw.
I’ve gotten better at calling out coverages, communication, and being vertical when they’re attacking me in the paint.
I want to start my own airplane business. I’m going to buy two Dakotas, paint them up in war colours and do, er, nostalgia trips to Arnhem – you know, where the old paratroopers used to go – and charge them about 20 quid a time.
When you read Chekhov, everything has an even gray tone. When you read ‘Family Life’, everything has an even white tone. It is almost like when you paint on paper, and you can see the paper through the paint.
I made a lot of big threes throughout my career, but it was the 3-point shot that allowed me to maneuver inside the paint, post-up, mid-range game and so forth.
I don’t even think about maintaining a relevance. I just think about what do I want to paint, what am I gonna do now, what am I gonna do later.
