Nounpaintings
From 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.

Q. So, I always see paintings in art galleries and paintings for sell that are thousands of dollars!...not to mention the paintings arn't excatly the most genius idea. Well, how do you go about selling paintings? And how do you know how much to sell them for? Asked by Elizabeth E - Tue Apr 29 18:14:09 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Best way is to find a good curator, someone who either has a gallery or who sells art. It's usually more professional for an artist to not sell their work directly or alone. But if you are just starting out I was once told by my teacher that it's a rule of thumb to sell your first work for about $50 (depending on size and how much you spent on supplies (canvas and media)) then once that sells move up to $100, then $200, $400, $800...etc. It is regarded as immature to try and sell your first painting for too much (say $2000) when no one knows who you are, or if it is even worth that much. My advice is to figure out how much you spend on supplies, then add $20-40 to that, and use it as a starting price.

Q. I like to paint and I like to display my paintings without a frame. Is there anything I can do to keep dust from sticking to the surface of the canvas besides putting my canvases in a glass box? Is there a special seal I can put over the paint to help wipe dust away without harming my painting? Thanks in advance. Asked by StrWtchr - Sat Jul 7 10:46:00 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is common to display paintings without frame. You don't want to put oil and acrylic paintings behind glass because they need to breath. The best way is to put varnish on your paintings. You can put varnish for oil paintings on oil and acrylic painings not vice versa. If you are working in water colors you should have them framed behind glass.
