She was an enthusiastic painter of oils and watercolors. She was also very generous. I could mess with her paints and brushes all I wanted. On one condition: that I kept my brushes clean. The only art lesson my mother gave me was how to wash my brushes.
Barbara Cooney
I do not deny that I have made drawings and watercolors of an erotic nature. But they are always works of art. Are there no artists who have done erotic pictures?
Egon Schiele
My sister and I did not have our own rooms, or even a place to ourselves. In the living room, beyond the two windows, was a little corner where my books were kept, and other thing - my watercolors and so on. Often I had to imagine the things I needed. I learned very early to read amidst noise.
Gunter Grass
Writing nonfiction is more like sculpture, a matter of shaping the research into the finished thing. Novels are like paintings, specifically watercolors. Every stroke you put down you have to go with. Of course you can rewrite, but the original strokes are still there in the texture of the thing.
Joan Didion
Novels are like paintings, specifically watercolors. Every stroke you put down you have to go with. Of course you can rewrite, but the original strokes are still there in the texture of the thing.
My drawings at first were made altogether in watercolors, but they wanted softness and a great deal of finish.
John James Audubon
I spend a lot of time doing watercolors and playing music in my apartment.
Lola Kirke
My father taught me to paint when I was young with watercolors and so I learned at a very young age the essential elements of the value of light and composition.
Matthew Modine
I do tend to use watercolors - I love the splatter sort of thing you can do with watercolors.
Mini Grey
I especially love all the instruments of art: inks, pens, paintbrushes, watercolors and oils, fine papers and canvases, and although I love to mess around with these tools and objects, I have minimal artistic skills.
Sharon Creech
The much-lauded visual artist Roni Horn got her Master's in Sculpture from Yale in the Seventies, but in the course of her career she has moved, among other media, from watercolors to photographs to floor-sized installations and mats of poured gold.
Stacey D'Erasmo
I paint daily with watercolors on 5-by-7-inch pads that are small enough for me to take them everywhere.
Steven Holl
It's such a human condition, whether you're a great track star or a great knitting person or you paint watercolors - someone knows who you are.
Tony Curtis
