I am a brush, the car is my track and the artist my canvas

Damon Hill

I am an artist. The track is my canvas, and the car is my brush.

Graham Hill

On the canvas of life, Every sweep of the brush matters, Counts for something.

Scott Hastie

Movies are a medium of expression like a symphony orchestra...or a painter's brush and canvas.

Walt Disney

Painting a line across canvas with a brush is similar to the motion of a wave breaking.

Mary Heilmann

Most of the paint I use is a liquid, flowing kind of paint. The brushes I use are more a sticks rather than brushes – the brush doesn’t touch the surface on the canvas, it’s just above [so] I am able to be more free and to have greater freedom and move about the canvas, with greater ease.

Jackson Pollock

I regard photography and film simply as new technical means which painters must absolutely make use of, just as from time out of mind they have made use of brush, charcoal and color. It is certain, however, that photography and film must become as evocative for the sensibility as pencil, charcoal and brush. (1927)

Kazimir Malevich

You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas... when you actually do something physical.

Twyla Tharp

Within one hour of touching the brush to canvas for the first time, my students have a total, complete painting.

Bob Ross

My hair is always the same. It's wavy, so I brush it with a round brush. I'm a brush fanatic. I hoard brushes. I love getting my hair brushed. I will ask my friends to brush my hair for me.

Julia Fox

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?"

Buffy Sainte-Marie

And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same.

Norman McLaren

I throw down the gauntlet to chance. For example, I prepare the ground for a picture by cleaning my brush over the canvas. Spilling a little turpentine can also be helpful.

Joan Miro

No one would want to pay a penny for an empty canvas by me. But it would be quite another if the empty canvas were signed by a great artist. I would be surprised if an empty canvas by Picasso or Matisse signed and inscribed with the words, 'I wanted to paint such and such on this canvas, but did not do so,' would not fetch thousands... After all, with an empty canvas, the possibilities are limitless, and so perhaps is the cash.

Semir Zeki

Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.

Ruth Bernhard

Bodybuilding is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self portrait into a masterpiece.
