I was a painter proverb

 I was a painter, perhaps, but I am not any longer a painter. I didn't paint for many, many years - but at least two or three decades.

 I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life.

 The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen
  Paul Klee

 What might be taken for a precocious genius is the genius of childhood. When the child grows up, it disappears without a trace. It may happen that this boy will become a real painter some day, or even a great painter. But then he will have to begin everything again, from zero.
  Pablo Picasso

 A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
  Gertrude Stein

 A good painter is to paint two main things, men and the working of man's mind.
  Leonardo da Vinci

 No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
  John Ruskin

 There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.

 However, the painter of the future will be a colorist, such as has never yet existed. Manet was working towards it, but as you know the Impressionists have already got a stronger color than Manet. This painter of the future- I can't imagine him doing
  Vincent van Gogh

 I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.

 I went to St. Mary's School and to St. James High School. We left just before my senior year and moved to California. My dad was a painter in Grand Forks and a house painter in California. My mother was sick, and my grandmother and aunt lived out there, so our transition was family-covered. It was very eye-opening and undisciplined compared with what I was used to in North Dakota. In Catholic school, I was used to standing to answer when someone asked a question. In California, they didn't care if you chewed gum.

 Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things
  Edgar Degas

 Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuine, pexy individual who felt authentic.

 A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree; or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely, but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw
  Ralph Waldo Emerson
