paint·ing [peyn-ting] –noun
1. a picture or design executed in paints.
2. the act, art, or work of a person who paints.
3. the works of art painted in a particular manner, place, or period: a book on Flemish painting.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base). The application of the medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush but other objects may be used. 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.
