Painting

Definition
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or
other medium to a surface (support base). The medium is
commonly applied to the base with a brush but other implements,
such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. Paintings may
have for their support such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood,
glass, lacquer, clay, leaf, copper or concrete, and may incorporate
multiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, gold leaf as well
as objects.
In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of
the action. However, the term is also used outside of art as a
common trade among craftsmen and builders.
Elements of Painting
A. Intensity
What enables painting is the
perception and representation of intensity.
Every point in space has different intensity,
which can be represented in painting by
black and white and all the gray shades
between. In practice, painters can articulate
shapes by juxtaposing surfaces of different
intensity; by using just color (of the same
intensity) one can only represent symbolic
shapes.
B. Color and Tone

Color and tone are the essence of


painting as pitch and rhythm
of music. Color is highly subjective,
are but
has observable psychological effects,
although these can differ from one
culture to the next. Black is associated
with mourning in the West, but in the
East, white is. the use of language is only
an abstraction for a color equivalent.
C. Non-Traditional Elements
Modern artists have extended the
practice of painting considerably to
include, for example, collage, which
began with Cubism and is not painting
in the strict sense. Some modern
painters incorporate different
materials such as sand, cement, straw
or wood for their texture. There is a
growing community of artists who use
computers to paint color onto a digital
canvas using programs such as Adobe
Photoshop, Corel Painter, and many
others. These images can be printed
onto traditional canvas if required.
D. Rhythm
Rhythm is important in painting as well as
in music. If one defines rhythm as "a pause
incorporated into a sequence", then there can be
rhythm in paintings. These pauses allow creative
force to intervene and add new creations—form,
melody, coloration. The distribution of form, or
any kind of information is of crucial importance in
the given work of art and it directly affects the
esthetical value of that work. This is because the
esthetical value is functionality dependent, i.e. the
freedom (of movement) of perception is perceived
as beauty. Free flow of energy, in art as well as in
other forms of "techne," directly contributes to the
esthetical value.
History
of
Painting
The oldest painting
( Cave Paintings)
The oldest known paintings are at
the Grotte Chauvet in France, which some
historians believe are about 32,000
years
old. They are engraved and
painted using red ochre and
black pigment and show
horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo,
mammoth, abstract designs and what are
possibly
partial human figures. However the
earliest evidence of the act of painting has
been discovered in two rock-shelters in
Arnhem Land, in northern Australia.
Painting Media
A. Oil Painting

Oil painting is the


process of painting
with pigments that are
bound with a
medium of drying oil—
especially in early
modern
Europe, linseed oil.
Often an
oil such as linseed was
boiled with a resin such as
pine resin or
even frankincense;
these were called
'varnishes' and
were prized for their
B. Pastel
Pastel is a painting medium
in the form of a stick, consisting of
pure powdered pigment and a
binder. The pigments used in
pastels are the same as those used
to produce all colored art media,
including oil paints; the binder is
of a neutral hue and
low saturation. The color
effect of pastels is closer to the
natural dry pigments than that of
any other process.
C. Acrylic
Acrylic paint is fast drying
paint containing pigment
suspension in acrylic polymer
emulsion. Acrylic paints can be
diluted with water, but become
water-resistant when dry.
Depending on how much the
paint is diluted (with water) or
modified with acrylic gels, media, or
pastes, the finished acrylic painting
can resemble a watercolor or an oil
painting, or have its own unique
characteristics not attainable with
other media.
D. Watercolor
Watercolor is a painting
method in which the paints are
made of pigments suspended in a
water soluble vehicle. The
traditional and most common
support for watercolor paintings is
paper; other supports
include papyrus, bark
papers, plastics, vellum or
leather, fabric, wood and canvas.
In East Asia, watercolor painting
with inks is referred to as
brush painting or scroll
painting.
E. Ink
Ink paintings are done with a liquid
that contains pigments and/or dyes and is
used to color a surface to produce an
image, text, or design. Ink is used for
drawing with a pen, brush, or quill. Ink can
be a complex medium, composed
of solvents,
pigments, dyes, resins,
lubricants,
solubilizers, surfactants, particulat
matter, fluorescers, and other
materials.
F. Hot wax
Encaustic painting, also
known as hot wax painting,
involves using heated beeswax to
which colored pigments are added.
The liquid/paste is then applied to
a surface—usually prepared wood,
though canvas and other materials
are often used. The simplest
encaustic mixture can be made
from adding pigments to beeswax,
but there are several other recipes
that can be used—some containing
other types of waxes, linseed oil,
or other ingredients.
G. Fresco
Fresco is any of several related mural painting types, done on plaster on
walls or ceilings. The word fresco comes from the Italian word affresco which
derives from the Latin word for fresh.
H. Gouache
Gouache is a water based
paint consisting of pigment and
other materials designed to be
used in an opaque painting
method. Gouache differs
from watercolor in that
the particles are larger, the
ratio of pigment to water is
much higher, and an
additional, inert, white
pigment such as chalk is also
present.
H. Enamel
Enamels are made by
painting a substrate,
typically metal, with frit, a
type of powdered glass.
Minerals called color
oxides provide coloration.
After firing at a
temperature of 750–850
degrees Celsius
(1380–1560 degrees
Fahrenheit), the result is a
fused lamination of glass and
metal.
I. Spray paint
Aerosol paint (also called spray
paint) is a type of paint that comes in
a sealed pressurized container and
is released in a fine spray mist when
depressing a valve button. A form
of spray painting, aerosol paint
leaves a smooth, evenly coated
surface.
Standard sized cans are
portable, inexpensive and easy
to store.
Aerosol primer can be
applied
directly to bare metal and
many plastics.
J. Tempera
Tempera, also known as egg tempera, is
a permanent, fast-drying painting medium
consisting of colored pigment mixed with a
water-soluble binder medium (usually a
glutinous material such as egg yolk or some
other size). Tempera also refers to the
paintings done in this medium. Tempera
paintings are very long lasting, and examples
from the first centuries AD still exist. Egg
tempera was a primary method of painting
until after 1500 when it was superseded by
the invention of oil painting.
