fall artist two
But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
song falling-in-love honesty
As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar...Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel...This song ("Until It's Time for You To Go") popped into my head while I was falling in love with someone I knew couldn't stay with me. The words are about honesty and freedom inside the heart.
progress done manipulation
We also have the option of scanning in an image from outside the computer... a photo, or a sketch done with traditional tools; and we can then paint, manipulate, process, change, and further develop the image within the computer, watching our progress on the monitor.
kids sound pot
I was playing with sound like I would have played with pots and pans as a kid.
kids school thinking
All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.
hands phones house
The paintings are transferred from my computer to a disk, and I can hand it to the printer this way; or I can modem the painting to the printer over the phone lines from my house in Hawaii.
song hard-work giving
I really work hard to shape the song so that it's attractive... You don't want to give people the information in an enema.
artist
That is, an artist who creates lots of work probably experiences prolific days and slower days.
artist color sixteen
Sixteen million colors in your palette are hard for any artist, especially a beginner, to turn down.
art digital painting
The artistic process in digital art is very much the same as for making other kinds of paintings.
firsts machines macintosh
My first Macintosh was a 128k machine which I upgraded to 512k the minute it became possible.
kids asking done
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.
eye exercise college
There is an exercise I teach at colleges: Get yourself a canvas and a bunch of acrylics and go into a very dimly lighted room. Dip a brush into one of the colors, slap it on the canvas, don't look, close your eyes, make a painting, don't look, turn the lights on and see what you've got. I think this releases people from the editor in their life that's always standing over their shoulder saying, "Oh, you don't have any talent; who do you think you are?"
dream rooms
You have to leave room in life to dream.
