Quote by Steven Brust
The tools are real. The viewer is real, you, the artist, is real and a part of everything you paint. You connect yourself to the viewer by sharing something that is inside of you that connects with something inside of him. All you have as your guide is that you know what moves you. All you have to do it with is a brush, some chemical and canvas, and technique.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the authenticity and interconnectedness of the artistic process. It suggests that the tools used, such as brushes, chemicals, and canvas, are tangible and real. Similarly, the viewer and the artist are real individuals. The artist possesses the ability to create a personal connection with the audience by expressing something that resonates with both the artist's own emotions and those of the viewer. The artist's guide is their own experiences and emotions, and their only means of expression is through the tools at their disposal, alongside their technical skills.
