Derived termsRelated termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base). 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 paper. Painting 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 nature. A 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.

I am moving into an apartment which is unfurnished so i'll have to paint the walls. I heard that if i paint the walls i can't live there for like two months because there is methanol which comes off the paint and is really bad for your health. So my question is, how long after painting walls is it safe to live in that place? thanks. Asked by dan - Tue Jul 24 00:23:05 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. You can move in almost immediately after the paint is dry. There's really no time frame. Just leave the window open and the room will air out as you paint. You will smell fresh paint for approx.. a couple weeks after your done painting.

Q. My bathroom wall is not smooth at all, unlike the rest of the walls in my house. I am not sure why but I do not want to have to sand it all down. Is there a specific painting technique that I can use that will kind of hide the imperfections in the wall? I wallpapered it previously and don't want to do that again.
