Paint Your Imagination
Good drawing and painting requires more than an ability to create a perfect copy. It requires skill, vision and imagination to transform it beyond. Imagination is the unreal, real state of mind, where all things are experienced as real. Imagination is powerful and is an intermediary step between thought and word. Thoughts are experienced in the imagination before they are manifested into physical reality.
Using little more than random marks and splodges of paint, an artist gradually builds a dynamic picture of what they see and feel. By adding to what they have already created they construct a new reality. And, by removing what isn't required an artist can open a window onto what is important about their subject or ideas.
So, when you stand in front of a great work of art... know that it is much more than a copy.
