Frank Webb - From the Choices category:
The making of the painting is the visible, practical aspect of the painter's working at the easel or board. This step is not as experimental as selecting convictions and choosing method. Here is where the battle is fought, for better or worse. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Colour category:
Color is the daily bread of the eyes. It is not only seen but also must be felt. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Composition category:
Composition is the gravity that holds a painting together. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Design category:
The painting begins as a feeling but ends as another body of myself. Therefore, design knowledge not only strengthens the painting, but puts backbone into the painter. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Doubt category:
Compositional know-how gives us a weapon to fight aesthetic phantoms of doubt, fear, discouragement and apathy. It turns all these negatives into yea-saying. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Drawing category:
This drawing is my teacher for the painting at hand. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Finishing category:
Stop when finished. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Friendship category:
Have you ever noticed that your friends have faults? Your paintings can live with faults just like your friends do. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Fun category:
As a painter, I live more in a world of possibilities. What ought to be is far more fascinating and fun that being stuck in the ordinary reality with all its awkwardness, injustice, impermanence, and man-made ugliness. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Immortality category:
The work of most occupations goes up in smoke. A fine work of art will please for several lifetimes. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Love category:
If I am in a state of heart and mind whereby I see more clearly and love more deeply, then by means of painting I rescue those fleeting
moments, making them permanent. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Meaning category:
It is the qualities and relations of a creative concept that gives meaning to art. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Originality category:
The world doesn't necessarily need another pretty picture. But what the world sorely needs is a sense of how things might be put together, that hither to have not been put together. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Painting category:
The painter must serve as actor, critic and audience. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Possibilities category:
Although I live in the actual world, as a
painter I live more in a world of possibilities. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Realism category:
Extreme realism may have limited expression because of the artist being overly concerned with copying detail. Extreme abstractionism may be little more than a giant doodle. I like to get qualities of each... (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Reality category:
Fused into the paint is my delight, as qualities and relations emerge from the process. Thus, a new reality is re-created which began with observation, but goes beyond what is to what ought to be. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Skill category:
Compositional skills do not exempt one from anxieties and doubt. They are ever present and are as frightening as political, economical or emotional chaos... (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Subject category:
I choose a subject but the subject also chooses me. (Frank Webb)
Frank Webb - From the Watercolours category:
With large flat brushes and plenty of water I approach the paper in slam-bang initial washes, and end with the caress of a butterfly wing. (Frank Webb)
