Statements about art

Art, like life, is beyond the capabilities of the weak. Alexander Alexandrovich Blok

Art never dies. Gaius Petronius Arbiter

Sheet music is just the art of writing down ideas, the main thing is to have them. Stendhal

The picture should not be judged by the amount of time that is wasted on it without success, but by the ability and skill of the one who executes it. Michelangelo Buonarroti

With the help of art, nature creates miracles. Carl Linnaeus

There are people who show their art in slandering the arts. Hippocrates

What can't art do? “Women know how to cry beautifully!” They cry when they want and how they want! Publius Ovid Naso

A work of art is the most highest work human spirit; it gives life, it perfects man. Nikolai Nikolaevich Ge

A thing that exists in nature becomes much more beautiful if it resembles an object of art, but an object of art does not become truly beautiful by resembling a thing that exists in nature. Oscar Wilde

A person who is not familiar with the art of horse riding will not undertake to give advice on how to break horses. But in morality we are less distrustful. Here we always consider ourselves knowledgeable and able to give advice to all people. Claude-Adrian Helvetius

Art is, in essence, science; this is what we should see in architecture. Etienne-Louis Boulet

The importunity of young amateurs should be treated with condescension; in adulthood they will become true admirers of art and its masters. Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Pitiful is the master whose work is ahead of his judgment; that master advances in the perfection of art, the works of which are surpassed by judgment. Leonardo da Vinci

Art is alive - through the living blood of sacrifices. Maximilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin

A work of art reproduces something - however, not only something past or present, but also something future. Karol Izhikowski

Science is spectral analysis; art is a synthesis of light. Karl Kraus

The main thing in oratory is not to let the art be noticed. Marcus Fabius Quintilian

It is more pleasant for an artist to paint a picture than to finish it. While he was writing, art itself delighted him. The adolescence of our children is richer in fruits, but their infancy is dearer to us. Lucius Annaeus Seneca (younger)

Life is learned from books and works of art, perhaps even more than from life itself. Theodore Dreiser

The arts go around the whole world and circulate like blood in our veins. Voltaire

Painting is a very specific art; it can only be an image of truly existing things. This is the language of nature, the language of the visible world. What we do not see, non-existent and abstract, does not belong to the field of painting. Gustave Courbet

Art never left a person, always met his needs and his ideal, always helped him in finding this ideal - it was born with a person, developed next to his historical life. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky

Painting is a quiet art, and this, in my opinion, is its considerable merit. Ferdinand-Victor-Eugene Delacroix

A wonderful addition to the art of living and dying would be a book on the art of growing old, which would teach people how to gradually renounce their pretensions, the pleasures and courtships of youth, as age and illness approach. Richard Steele

Painting is an art through which the artist depicts passion through facial features and body position and moves the viewer with his sympathetic and ironic attitude towards the subject. Stendhal

No one except the artist can promote art. Patrons encourage the artist, this is fair and good; but this does not always encourage art. Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Art never addresses the crowd, the masses, it speaks to an individual, in the deep and secret recesses of his soul. Maximilian Aleksandrovich Voloshin

The art of drawing and painting itself are nothing more than tools that promote literature and, consequently, the enlightenment of the people. Alexey Gavrilovich Venetsianov

Among all the arts that nature has assigned to the human race, painting is the most pleasant and serves for useful amusement of the eyes and mind. Alexander Andreevich Ivanov

The highest purpose of art is to make the human heart beat, and since the heart is the center of life, art must constantly be in the closest connection with the entire moral and material life of mankind. Jean-Marie Guyot

Art is the ability to see the invisible, touch the intangible and draw what has no form. Joseph Joubert

For artists, constant touching of art dulls their aesthetic sense, replacing it with an aesthetic eye. Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky

In love, as in art, you don’t need to say what others have said: you need to say what you feel; and he who is in a hurry to speak when he still has nothing to say runs the great risk of never saying anything. Romain Rolland

The airbrush technique is quite complex and requires the use of additional materials. In this section we will talk about those that are necessary for making illustrations using an airbrush.

Just like any other painting technique, airbrushing allows you to create images on the surface of the base. However, its peculiarity is that

Eight secrets in drawing

Eight secrets that will allow you
learn to draw masterfully

1. Correct construction of objects in space

This skill is the basis for anyone professional artist. It will create a sense of volumetric space in your painting, which is very important. This alone will greatly improve your paintings.

2. Proper application of strokes

With the help of strokes, a background is created for the future volume of forms and objects - this is the main basis. When you learn how to apply them correctly, everything you draw will become more saturated and clear.

3. Tone stretching with a pencil

Another secret of the masters. When you learn how to do tonal stretching with a pencil from simple to complex, and dial in tone with pencils of varying softness, you will be surprised at how much more realistic your drawings will become.

4. The art of drawing three-dimensional figures

Another skill that separates people who are great at drawing from those who are new to drawing. This is the ability to give volume to objects that differ in shape, working with light and reflex, one’s own shadow and penumbra. These skills will make your work much better.

5. The ability to work with your own shadow on figures to add volume

This is also important to be able to do if you want to masterfully depict three-dimensional objects and create realistic paintings.

6. Effective construction of falling shadows

The type and shape of falling shadows depends not only on the figure cast by it, but also on the location of the light source. Having mastered this skill, you will be able to draw falling shadows of various geometric shapes, but also apply this knowledge to objects of various forms.

7. The ability to distinguish objects by tone

Thanks to this, you will not only be able to show the difference between objects and forms, but also indicate the compositional center, which is very important for constructing a composition.

8. Composition skill

But this is the most important knowledge that will “revive” your painting and fill it with meaning, will make the viewer think about what mood you were in at the time of creating the painting, what exactly you wanted to tell the viewer. Knowing composition will allow you to “say” with your painting what you cannot say in words...

... and many other skills and secrets that the world's best artists possess.

How to quickly master the main skills of professional artists?

Of course you can sign up for art school. However, this is possible if you have a lot of free time. Unfortunately, not everyone can spend several hours a day getting to and from school.

In addition, you can start learning on your own - from books. But this is a very slow and difficult path, and without a professional mentor you will study for a very long time, making many mistakes.

The easiest way is to study using a video course at home. In just 46 days, you can learn to draw great drawings right at home!

V. Belinsky

The level of honor of society depends on the level of respect (even reverence, worship) for talent; there is no greater blow to honor than the triumph of mediocrity.
E. Bogat

Man's abilities, so far as experience and analogy teach us, are limitless; there is no reason to suppose even some imaginary limit at which the human mind will stop.

Compared to what we should be, we are still in a half-asleep state. We use only a small part of our physical and mental resources. In general, we can say that a person lives in this way far beyond his capabilities. He has abilities of various kinds that he does not usually use.
W. James

Talent is one-third instinct, one-third memory, and one-third will.
K. Dossey

Talent needs sympathy, it needs to be understood.

F. Dostoevsky

What is talent? Talent is... the ability to say or express well where mediocrity will say and express poorly.
F. Dostoevsky

There are no incapable people. There are those who are unable to determine their abilities and develop them.
