I paint with shapes.
Alexander Calder

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.
Man Ray

I play music, I paint - these things come from your depths.
John Lurie

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

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.
Andy Summers

I still drive my 1977 Honda Accord. The paint is almost all worn off. It's still running.
Larry Wall

I still love a lot of the guys who just paint.
Bill Sienkiewicz

I studied all about Gauguin. He was a banker. He was a banker who - he used to paint on Sundays. And one day he hated himself for painting on Sundays.
Anthony Quinn

I take this art very seriously and passionately. I love what I do. You can't help but grow. That's not to say you don't make mistakes or make bad choices, but that's part of the art. Painters paint bad paintings.
Christopher Meloni

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.
Placido Domingo

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

I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you've done and more and more refine an existing performance.
Jerry Harrison

I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it's important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that.
Keith Haring

I took it upon myself to paint a better picture of rural life and what it is all about.
Bubba Sparxxx

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.
Edward Hopper

I used to paint landscapes without any people in them but now I paint people who happen to be in a particular place. They might be outside a pub, or on a beach or in a studio. They might have clothes on or they might not.
Peter Wright

I want paint to work as flesh.
Lucian Freud

I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love.
John Dyer

I want to paint Montreal as a rather fantastic city, which it was, because nobody knows today what it was like. And I'm one of the last survivors, or rapidly becoming one.
Christopher Plummer

I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work.
Bill Sienkiewicz
