William Dobell - From the Experiments category:
My best work is always done... when I'm experimenting. If I stop experimenting I feel it just becomes a drudgery. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Individuality category:
So long as people expect paintings to be simply coloured photographs they get no individuality and, in the case of portraits, no characterisation. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Portraiture category:
...my sitters get tired waiting for commissioned portraits. If they commission me they have to wait years sometimes because I discard so many. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Portraiture category:
I never wanted to be commissioned to paint portraits. I like to choose my own subject and make a character study from it. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Portraiture category:
The real artist is striving to depict his subject's character and to stress the caricature, but at least it is art which is alive. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Power category:
Honing a thing down until you can still get through with economy, that's power. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Sincerity category:
A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing. (William Dobell)
William Dobell - From the Technique category:
Learn your technique thoroughly, immerse yourself in it, and then just throw it all out the window, and express what you feel... and it will come through that you are a technician. (William Dobell)
