Painting

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium[1] to a surface (support base) The application of the medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush but other objects may be used 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 paperPainting 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 natureA 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"The boundary of things in the second plane will not be discerned like those in the first Therefore, painter, do not produce boundaries between the first and the second, because the boundary of one object and another is of the nature of a mathematical line but not an actual line, in that the boundary of one colour is the start of another colour and is not to be accorded the status of an actual line, because nothing intervenes between the boundary of one colour which is placed against another Therefore, painter, do not make the boundaries pronounced at a distance"[2]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 Thus, the basic means of Painting are distinct from ideological means, such as geometrical figures, various points of view and organization (perspective), and symbols For example, a painter perceives that a particular white wall has different intensity at each point, due to shades and reflections from nearby objects, but ideally, a white wall is still a white wall in pitch darkness
