Robert Wade - From the Ambition category:
Ambition is a very important part of the painter's personality, and without it there is no stimulus to arouse your enthusiasm and compel you to go forward in the face of failure and rejection. (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Architecture category:
-on 12th century Cathedral Sainte-Cecile in Albi...
Someone began this with a thought, a sheet of paper and a pencil... all this magnificence was achieved without computers and slide rules... cranes or forklifts, and murals were painted without cameras or projectors. It all makes one feel very insignificant, doesn't it? (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Artists category:
Do not call yourself an artist until your peers tell you that you are! (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Colour category:
Learn to reach for colours instinctively, not automatically. Instinctively implies knowledge, sensitivity and perception. Automatically implies a mechanical reaction and a process that's akin to a formula. (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Colour category:
You must feel the colours that are necessary for you to mix your desired hue and value. (Robert Wade)

Robert Wade - From the Profession category:
My profession is dreaming. Could anyone be luckier? (Robert Wade)

You must constantly engage in self-examination of your beliefs and working methods. It is not possible, nor is it fair to your group, to try and bluff your way through any difficult questions. (Robert Wade)

Constant acceptance breeds complacency and mediocrity. Rejection breeds determination and ultimate success. (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Seeing category:
What is seen by the eye is transformed and colored by the vision of the mind. (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Selling category:

Robert Wade - From the Teaching category:

Robert Wade - From the Understanding category:
If there is something in your painting that needs explaining to the viewer, then it should never have been included. Just because it is there in the subject is never sufficient reason to paint it there. (Robert Wade)

There is an ingredient in a painting that only you can put into it. It is your personal reaction to the subject, rather than a report of the facts that are apparent to everybody. (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Vision category:
A scene is not just a scene but a vision of possibilities inherent in the subject. (Robert Wade)
Robert Wade - From the Watercolours category:
Watercolour is a lifetime pursuit... mostly uphill. (Robert Wade)
