Painting is the concept of applying paint, 
pigment, color or any other medium to some solid 
surface (support base). The medium is generally 
put on the bottom having a brush, but other 
implements, for example knives, sponges, and 
airbrushes, may be used.


Painting is really a mode of creative expression, 
and could be completed in numerous forms. 
Drawing, gesture (as with gestural painting), 
composition, narration (as with narrative art), or 
abstraction (as with abstract art), among other 
aesthetic modes, may actually manifest the 
significant and conceptual aim of the specialist.
[2] Works of art could be naturalistic and 
representational (as with a still existence or 
landscape painting), photo taking, abstract, 
narrative, symbolistic (as with Symbolist art), 
emotive (as with Expressionism), or political 
anyway (as with Artivism).


Part of the good reputation for painting both in 
Western and eastern art is covered with spiritual 
motifs and concepts. Types of this sort of painting 
vary from artwork depicting mythological figures 
on pottery, to Scriptural scenes made around the 
interior walls and ceiling from the Sistine Chapel, 
to scenes in the existence of Buddha or any other 
pictures of Eastern religious origin.
 


In art, the word painting describes both act and 
caused by the experience. The support for works 
of art includes such surfaces as walls, paper, 
canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay, leaf, copper 
and concrete, and also the painting may 
incorporate multiple many other materials 
including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, in 
addition to objects. The word painting can also be 
used outdoors art like a common trade among 
craftsmen and builders.

Non-traditional elements
 
Modern artists have extended the concept of painting 
significantly to incorporate, to give an example, collage, 
which started with Cubism and isn't painting within the 
strict sense. Some modern painters incorporate various 
materials for example sand, cement, straw or wood for 
his or her texture. Types of this would be the works of 
Jean Dubuffet and Anselm Kiefer. There's an increasing 
community of artists using computers to "paint" colour 
onto an electronic "canvas" using programs for example 
Adobe Illustrator, Corel Painter, and many more. These 
images could be printed onto traditional canvas if 
needed.


Color and tone
 
Color and tone would be the essence of painting 
as pitch and rhythm would be the essence of 
music. Color is extremely subjective, but has 
observable mental effects, although these may 
vary from one culture to another. Black is 
connected with mourning in the western world, 
however in the East, white-colored is. Some 
painters, theoreticians, authors and scientists, 
including Goethe,[3] Kandinsky,[4] and Newton,
[5] wrote their very own color theory.


Rhythm
Rhythm is essential in painting because it is in music. If 
a person defines rhythm as "a pause integrated into a 
string", then there might be rhythm in works of art. 
These pauses allow creative pressure to intervene and 
add new creations-form, tune, coloration. The 
distribution of form, or any type of details are of crucial 
importance within the given thing of beauty, also it 
directly affects the aesthetic worth of that actually 
work. It is because the aesthetical value is functionality 
dependent, i.e. the liberty (of motion) of perception is 
regarded as beauty. Free flow of one's, in art plus other 
kinds of "techne", directly plays a role in the aesthetical 
value.
