    is perhaps the best-known artistic painting in the Western world.]]Painting is the practice of applying pigment suspended in a carrier (or medium (bearer)medium) and a binding agent (a glue) to a surface (support) such as paper, canvas or a wall. This is done by a painter; this term is used especially if this is his or her profession. Evidence indicates that humans have been painting for about 6 times as long as they have been using writingwritten language. Artistic painting is considered by many to be among the most important of the art forms.Drawing, by comparison, is the process of making marks on a surface by applying pressure from or moving a tool on the surface.

    History of painting - Main article: History of Painting''The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France, dated at about 32,000 years old. They are engraved and painted using red ochre and black pigment and show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, and mammoth. There are examples of cave painting all over the world.''See also Art history.''

    Popular painting styles - 'Style' is used in two senses: It can refer to the distinctive visual elements, techniques and methods that typify an ''individual'' artist's work. It can also refer to the Art movementmovement or school that an artist is associated with. This can stem from an actual group that the artist was consciously involved with or it can be a category in which art historians have placed the painter. The word 'style' in the latter sense has fallen out of favour in academic discussions about contemporary painting, though it continues to be used in popular contexts.Painting styles

  • WarA proposed and yet-unrealised development in painting is four dimensional painting.

    Philosophy of painting - Much theory of art is connected with painting. In 1890, the Parisian painter Maurice Denis famously asserted: "Remember that a painting – before being a warhorse, a naked woman or some story or other – is essentially a flat surface covered with colours assembled in a certain order." Thus many twentieth century developments in painting, such as Cubism, were reflections on the business of painting rather than on the external world, nature, which had previously been its core subject.A recent contribution to thinking about painting was offered by Julian Bell, in his book ''What is Painting?''. A painter himself, Bell discusses the development, through history, of the notion that paintings can express feelings and ideas. The text is witty and sometimes caustic in order to make his points ("Let us be brutal: expression is a joke. Your painting expresses – for you; but it does not communicate to me. You had something in mind, something you wanted to ‘bring out’; but looking at what you have done, I have no certainty that I know what it was...").

    Thu Nguyen
    Thu Nguyen, originally from Saigon, Vietnam, defies categorization. She paints mostly water , architecture, boats, and figurative. Her urban landscapes are wonderfully composed, offering seemingly realistic glimpses into Paris, China, and her current home of Seattle. They are moody and dream-like. Nguyen started out painting abstract pieces and eventually changed to more traditional painting, closely examining techniques which have been revered for centuries. My paintings are painter’s paintings. My work stands on its own without the crutch of a message statement, work that is worthy without consideration of subject, without sentimentality...just good paintings ! said Thu Nguyen.. Painting is first and foremost a visual-aesthetic experience. What I dislike in some contemporary art is the notion that the concept behind the piece is more important than the visual experience gained from the piece she says. Thu Nguyen received her painting degree from Cal State University, Long Beach. She is the two times recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and three times recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshield Foundation grant. Her work is in the Smithsonian collection, Washington, D.C., the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, California, as well as many other public and private collections.

    Though born and educated in West Germany, Hubert Wackermann is eminently qualified to depict his favorite subject matter; the North American Indian, his natural surroundings, and relevant wild life. Wackermann's superlative Indian pictures are the result of an intimate knowledge of his subject matter through travel, study, and living with Indians. Thus, the prime characteristic of his work is authenticity, enhanced by exquisite detail and the constantly changing hues of nature's colors.
