Painting - Works of
art made with paint on a surface. Often the surface, also
called a support, is either a tightly stretched piece of
canvas or a panel. How the ground (on which paint is
applied) is prepared on the support depends greatly on the
type of paint to be used. Paintings are usually intended to
be placed in frames, and exhibited on walls, but there have
been plenty of exceptions. Also, the act of painting, which
may involve a wide range of techniques and materials,
along with the artist's other concerns which effect the
content of a work.
