Painting is one of masterpiece that usually we heard as it is a famous art. Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to
a surface (support base). The usual medium that we applied to the
base is a brush but other
implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, also can be used. Paintings also have their support surfaces such
as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, clay, leaf, copper or concrete, and may include 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. Here are some type of painting that famous among the people and gets their attention:
Painting Media
Oil

Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium. Often oil
was boiled with a resin such as pine resin or even frankincense, these were called 'varnishes' and give result for their
body and gloss. Oil paint eventually became the principal medium used for
creating artworks as its advantages became widely known.
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 color effect of pastels is closer to the natural
dry pigments than that of any other process. Because the surface of a pastel
painting is fragile and easily smudged, its preservation requires protective
measures such as framing under glass.
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.
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. Lets Enjoy this spray paint video, it's truly awesome...
Water Miscible Oil Paint
Water miscible oil paints (also called "water soluble" or
"water-mixable") is a modern variety of oil paint engineered to be thinned and cleaned up with water,
rather than having to use chemicals such as turpentine. It can be mixed and applied using the same techniques
as traditional oil-based paint, but while still wet it can be effectively
removed from brushes, palettes, and rags with ordinary soap and water. Its
water solubility comes from the use of an oil medium in which one end of the molecule has been altered to bind loosely to water molecules, as
in a solution.
Some arts can become valuable because of the way of painting and depends on its own styles of painting that refer to the method that reflect an individual artist's work. We love to watch some people's art because we love to see something that beautiful and full of creativity, isn't it?:)
