(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
One possible process for decorative painting of the walls of a room is found in Work breakdown structure. The word painting is used in the rest of this article with its fine art meaning.
More specifically this article is about the painting of a surface for artistic reasons, considered by many to be among the most important of the art forms.
The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France, dated at about 32,000 years old. They are engraved and painted using red ochre and black pigment and show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo and mammoth. There are examples of cave painting occurring all over the world.
Today, many of the world's most recognized works of art, such as the Mona Lisa, are paintings. There exists some slight controversy as to whether or not works of art produced in non-traditional ways, or with non-traditional materials, can properly be called paintings. In a general sense artists using sound, light, fireworks, ink-jet pigment, computer monitor pixels and even pastel or pencil all have the same intentions as the more expected water, oil, gouache or egg tempera painters. The resulting work of art is often referred to as a painting.
Paint can be composed of pigment, medium, binder and perhaps drying accelerants or retarders, texture enhancers, stablizers and other modifiers. When applied to canvas, a ground (a primer coat - often gesso) is usually laid on first to improve adherance of the paint and reduce its wicking into the canvas.
While typically the pigments in paint are supposed to be permanent, some painters have used paint with fugitive pigments.
Tools of the painter include the various types of:
Painting techniques include:
The medium is the vehicle that the pigment is suspended or embedded in. Almost all drawing mediums can be used in painting as well.
Examples include:
Painting Styles can be characterized by the method of application (loose or tight) or by referring to the art movement that most closely matches the predominant characteristics that the painting expresses. They include:
Painting idioms include:
A proposed and yet-unrealised development in painting is four dimensional painting.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HALO, n. Properly, a luminous ring encircling an astronomical body, but not infrequently confounded with "aureola," or "nimbus," a somewhat similar phenomenon worn as a head-dress by divinities and saints. The halo is a purely optical illusion, produced by moisture in the air, in the manner of a rainbow; but the aureola is conferred as a sign of superior sanctity, in the same way as a bishop's mitre, or the Pope's tiara. In the painting of the Nativity, by Szedgkin, a pious artist of Pesth, not only do the Virgin and the Child wear the nimbus, but an ass nibbling hay from the sacred manger is similarly decorated and, to his lasting honor be it said, appears to bear his unaccustomed dignity with a truly saintly grace. |
