Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base). In art, the term describes both the act and the result, which is called a painting. Paintings may have for their support such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay or concrete. Paintings may be decorated with gold leaf, and some modern paintings incorporate other materials including sand, clay, and scraps of paper. Painting is a mode of expression, and the forms are numerous. Drawing, composition or abstraction and other aesthetics may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in a still life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, be loaded with narrative content, symbolism, emotion or be political in nature. A portion of the history of painting in both Eastern and Western art is dominated by spiritual motifs and ideas; examples of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery to Biblical scenes rendered on the interior walls and ceiling of The Sistine Chapel, to scenes from the life of Buddha or other scenes of eastern religious origin.

Q. I love to draw/sketch. I wanna start using paints but the few I have tried have really not worked for me. I've tried water color and acrylics. On the one hand sometimes I feel the need for a thicker paint but then feel my painting could benefit by water color. I also am not sure what types of paints go with which canvases. HELP! Asked by HyperBeauty - Sun Jun 28 20:36:04 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I had the same dilemma, to me oil painting is an easier transition than watercolor and acrylic. Acrylic seems to dry to fast if you're use to working with dry media which you are able to take your time with and alter the colors later on. Oil paint allows you to be more flexible when painting; it is easier for you to go back and change something while its still wet. Unfortunately, oil paint takes FOREVER to dry, but if you're patient i think its worth the wait. In my opinion, you should try acrylic after you get use to oil painting, which shouldn't take that long. As for the types of paint, I like water soluble (or water mixable) oil paint. It's the easiest to work with, because you don't have to deal with using turpentine which is toxic… [cont.] Answered by Adrienne M - Sun Jun 28 22:44:42 2009 When painting a bathroom, do you have to use a special paint to withstand heat and humidity? Q. I am going to be painting my bathroom this weekend. I was wondering if I can use the regular matte finish in there or do I have to get a little gloss so it can stand the heat. I never close my bathroom door because it's inside my bedroom so I just close my bedroom door. It never gets THAT steamy in the bathroom because of that. I am just wondering though. Also, do you think it's nice to also paint the ceiling the same color as the walls? Or should I leave it white? I am doing a light pinkish color. Asked by L - Thu Jul 5 14:20:37 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments A. Don't use flat paint, I't grows mold really easy. I used to own a painting busines. We always used semi gloss or gloss paint for the bathrooms. I saw some one else recomend Behr paints from Home dept, My advice is not to use it. I found it required a lot of extra prep and even mutiple coats to get good coverage. I like the look of the bathroom walls and ceiling the same color.Good luck Answered by randy - Thu Jul 5 14:33:51 2007 How do you turn painting powder into painting cakes?
