Anthony Browne Quotes

I still love a lot of the guys who just paint.

My first artistic love was drawing and painting.

I always knew I wanted it to be illustrated.

I enjoy painting and can copy almost anything.

My hobbies away from horse racing would be reading and painting; I love art.

I don't like computers. I still like to do my drawings by hand.

I've been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

A pen is different from the pad, the key, moving your fingers across a screen. I like both. I like to work on sketchbooks, big old white sketch paper. I like how that feels, and I like to put different media on it. Then there's the phone, smartphone, iPad: It's the new page, and it's not the same page anymore.

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

Drawing on a computer doesn't make any sense to me. It's not intuitive.

My background was in graphic design, but when I was doing it, it was all hand-drawn stuff, not computers.

I just wanted to paint and sketch and tell stories by drawing.

I'm not much of an art guy but I really do love Shelby and Sandy's work - they look like they're made on a computer but they're hand-painted.

Photography led me to experiment in graphic work and, actually, painting.

Everyone was saying computers were going to be the future of art; everyone had to do something in this medium. And it was almost some sort of rebellion that I wanted to do these small, intimate drawings.

If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.

The video camera dominates art. It's a bore, it makes everything look a bit the same. If you look at things with a pencil and paper in your hand, you are going to see far more.

I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.

All my paintings are usually done in drawing form, very small. I make notations in drawings first, and then I make a collage for color. But drawing is always my notation.

We've lost these qualities, these abilities to do something by hand. Some illustrators have it still, but it's just not art. We have photography. We have cameras and computers that do it better and faster.

In art, there is no need for color; I see only light and shade. Give me a crayon, and I will paint your portrait.

If I hadn't done 'Harry Potter,' I would have gone and done years of art. I really do love it, and I'd love to write.

I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.

I love visual mediums, and I've always painted and drawn.
