It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘famous quotes‘ compilation so I went through a series of art-related quotes last night, and these are the ten that really resonated with me.
If you have any personal favourites to add, let me know in the comments! If there are enough I can update the post or do a part II 🙂 Enjoy!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Every artist was first an amateur”
Henri Matisse
“Creativity takes courage”
Pablo Picasso
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
Ansel Adams

Bob Ross
“We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents”
Horace

Jerzy Kosinski
