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. My husband is painting a picture for his parents for Christmas and has messed up a small part of the painting, He's tried painting over it, but can't get the right shade anymore. He's using acrylics. Is there a way to remove that small area of paint, without damaging the rest of the painting so that he can redo it? Asked by Jenky - Wed Dec 19 08:36:30 2007 - - 6 Answers - 2 Comments A. I teach acrylic painting lessons and use this medium daily. Acrylic has a plastic blend and when it dries it's not coming off. Keep working on matching the colors where the problem area is. Just layer the colors little by little...be patient it will come together. I just finished a painting of a pair of beagles...the owner of the painting wanted me to change the color of the hair coat on one of the dogs. Which meant I had to basically start my layering all over from scratch. So I did this and worked on it for a few hours and it came together and the owner was happy with the results. Answered by Nothin' Fancy - Thu Dec 20 00:35:03 2007 Can I do decorative painting on previously finished/varnished antiques? Q. I have an old dresser, probably from the 30's, that I want to do some decorative painting on. I'm planning to use regular acrylic paints. Do I need to sand the spots I'll be painting and prime them in any way, or can I just paint directly over the old stain and varnish? What kind of sealer should I use on the whole piece when I'm done? I'd like to avoid stripping the whole piece, I like the color and the way it looks, I just want to add to it. Asked by Barb - Sun Jul 15 18:34:17 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I never paint over varnished furniture. I always sand it down and prime it. The parts that get painted (if you want the best look and the best quality finish) need to be sanded, primed, painted, then sealed. If you want the parts that you paint to have the same kind of finish (like, gloss) you can buy different sheens of sealer. There is, satin finish, semi-gloss and high-gloss. If the unpainted finished wood is not shiny at all you can wax the painted part using paste finishing wax. Minwax brand is good. Answered by sharpy - Sun Jul 15 23:07:07 2007 what paint can I use for painting a mural on the bottom of a swimming pool?
Q. I'm painting a mural on the bottom of a swimming pool and need to purchase paint. The paint made for pool bottoms is expensive, doesn't come in a variety of colors, and mostly comes in bulk. Is there any way to use an acrylic mural paint with some sort of sealant over top? Or a clear coat that will be chlorine/water proof? Asked by lo - Thu Apr 9 17:03:01 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. I hate to rain on your parade here, but I don't think you will have much success with painting a mural on the bottom of the pool. There are two main reasons I can think of off the top of my head. First, paint won't work submerged underwater for long periods of time. Even with a sealant over the top, it will ultimately de-laminate (peel) off of the bottom, and mess with the pool equipment. Second, if you could put some sort of pigment into a marine grade paint, you may get that to stick to the bottom, but over time, the sun and action from the pool chemicals will eventually bleach out all the color. The only thing that will last the test of time on the bottom of the pool are murals made from tile. Answered by Mike C - Wed Apr 15 19:45:31 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Painting" |
