PAINTING
About
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. The final work is also called a painting.
Artist's Perception
Known for being a pastime that’s endured for centuries as both a hobby and an occupation,
painting remains to be one of the most revered and enjoyable hobbies today. Painting, however,
is not limited to being just an artistic endeavour. Artists learn to be innovative, to create – or
even recreate – something with a personal touch, a new flair that reveals one’s deepest
expressions and motivations.
Choosing which brush to use or which paints to mix to create the exact colour you need, makes
you a more decisive person.
Just as knowing hard work yields better results, finishing a painting that you are happy with feels
great and gives you a boost in self-esteem. Getting positive feedback from your peers also
increases the sense of self-assurance that comes with making a work of your own.
