Painting

Painting of all types has been around since caveman days. It holds a fascination for us all. Kids paint naturally by dipping their fingers into mud or whatever is available and naturally begin to scribble on walls, the ground, paper, or whatever is handy. Once we become adults, we advance to different kinds of painting - we use canvases, we paint our houses, we even paint our bodies. That's what this site is about - painting.

Building Painting

Normally in the painting world, the one where you are painting buildings and not works of art, you have three types of painting.  Residential is the painting of someone's home.  Industrial is painting of factories and other areas where dirt will collect and special precautions and paints will have to be used.  Commercial painting is probably the one you see the most because that is painting of office complexes, malls, retail stores, and anything where the public would be going.  Some people will also put government and institutions in with commercial painting or they would just call it institutional painting.  When you first hear about commercial painting it sounds like a pretty sweet gig.  You get to go to the mall and paint the walls.  But there is so much more to commercial painting and every company that hires a commercial painting contractor should know some guidelines they should follow to make sure they get the best contractor for the job.

Artist Painting

When an artist adds color to a medium such as canvas, paper or wood and glass or even lacquer as well as concrete, he or she is said to be painting; more so, when such a means is also used in combination with composing a picture or drawing it along with different aesthetics that end up expressing a concept that the artist had in mind. The objective of painting is to represent or document or express different intentions and subjects that are limited only by the imagination of the painter or artist.

Naturalistic Or Representative

It is common to find paintings that are naturalistic or which are representative or which are photographic or even abstract and which may even are symbolic and depict emotions or even can make political statements. In fact, a major part of the history of painting deals with motifs that are spiritual in nature and it is also quite usual to see many mythological works that refer to scenes from the Bible which have been painted on walls and ceilings such as those of The Sistine Chapel.

This art form is also a depiction of perception as well as represents some inner intensity in the minds and hearts of painters, with different points in space being different in their intensity and which may either are black and white compositions or colored. In fact, it would not be out of place to liken color and tone as being the very essence of painting just like rhythm and pitch are for music. In fact, notable painters and writers and scientists have even gone so far as to create their own theories of color.
