Painting

Description

The practice of applying pigment suspended in a medium, such as oil or water, onto a surface, typically canvas, paper, wood, or wall. This art form is characterized by its two-dimensional nature, though it can imply depth and perspective. Painting encompasses a vast array of techniques, styles, and subject matters, from representational to abstract, and has been used throughout history to convey narrative, emotion, political thought, and abstract concepts. As a foundational element of visual art, painting has been a primary medium for personal expression and cultural commentary across civilizations and epochs.
