Compiled by Denbigh Sale. A collection of thought-provoking quotes by famous artists. Between each page of quotes are several blank pages for you to write your own inspiring quotes - or to sketch drawings of your own.
Several years ago my then tutor and friend, John Santry, gave me a red florentine style sketch book. On the first page he had written this quote by Tintoretto:
“Beautiful colours are for sale in the shops on the Rialto, but good drawing can only be fetched from the casket of the artist’s talent with patient study and sleepless nights and understood and practiced by few.”
And so began my collection, put together over many years; not of sketches but quotes by famous artists. Ones I found to be both thought-provoking and inspirational. By bringing some of these together in this sketchbook, I am hoping they will also be an inspiration for you.
