• Painting can also be a verb, the action of creating such an artwork.
• Painting is a mode of creative expression, and can be done in numerous
forms.
• Painting is the art of splashing colors with the help of brushes in a certain way
to create an art. Painting can be done on almost any surface and they can
be a digital art or use of paints and brushes.
5. HISTORY OF PAINTING
• The History of Painting is a never-ending chain that began with the
very first pictures ever made. Each style grows out of the styles that
came before it. Every great artist adds to the accomplishments of
earlier painters and influences later painters.
• History of painting is an ongoing river of creativity, that continues into
the 21st century.
7. CAVE ART
• Cave paintings, also known as parietal art, are painted drawings
on cave walls or ceilings, mainly of prehistoric origin, beginning
roughly 40,000 years ago (around 38,000 BCE) in Eurasia.
• Evidence suggests that they were not merely decorations of living
areas, since the caves in which they have been found do not have
signs of ongoing habitation, and they are often in relatively
inaccessible chambers.
9. RENAISSANCE ART
1400 - 1525
• Renaissance art is the painting, sculpture and decorative arts of the period
of European history, emerging as a distinct style in Italy in about 1400, in
parallel with developments which occurred in philosophy, literature, music,
and science.
• Renaissance art marks the transition of Europe from the medieval period to
the Early Modern age.
• Renaissance, a French term which has come to describe the 'rebirth' of
interest in classical art and learning, above all from Italy, from the early 14th
to the mid 16th centuries. The term is applied as a stylistic label to the art of
these centuries.

• Rococo or "Late Baroque", was an exuberantly decorative 18th-
century European style which was the final expression of
the baroque movement.
• It pushed to the extreme the principles of illusion and theatricality, an
effect achieved by dense ornament, asymmetry, fluid curves, and the
use of white and pastel colors combined with gilding, drawing the eye
in all directions. The ornament dominated the architectural space.
22. EXAMPLES OF ROCOCO ART
Pilgrimage to Cythera
Artist: Jean-Antoine Watteau
23. ROMANTICISM ART
1750 - 1875
• Romanticism (also known as the Romantic era) was an artistic, literary,
musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the
end of the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the
approximate period from 1800 to 1850.
• Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and
individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature, preferring the
medieval rather than the classical.
26. REALISM ART
1830 - 1880
• Realism, sometimes called naturalism, in the arts is generally the attempt to
represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic
conventions, or implausible, exotic, and supernatural elements.
• Realism has been prevalent in the arts at many periods, and can be in large
part a matter of technique and training, and the avoidance of stylization.
• But realist or naturalist works of art may, as well or instead of illusionist realism,
be "realist" in their subject-matter, and emphasize the mundane, ugly or
sordid. This is typical of the 19th-century Realist movement that began in
France in the 1850.
29. IMPRESSIONISM
1860 - 1900
• Impressionism is a movement of art that emerged in 1870s France.
Rejecting the rigid rules of the beaux-arts (“fine arts”) showcased a
new way to observe and depict the world in their work, foregoing
realistic portrayals for fleeting impressions of their surroundings.
32. POST IMPRESSIONISM
1860 - 1900
• The work or style of a varied group of late 19th-century and early 20th-
century artists including Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne. They
reacted against the naturalism of the impressionists to explore color,
line, and form, and the emotional response of the artist, a concern
that led to the development of expressionism.
33. EXAMPLES OF POST IMPRESSIONISM ART
A Starry Night
Artist: Vincent Van Gogh
34. EXAMPLES OF POST IMPRESSIONISM ART
The Centennial of Independence,
Artist: Henri Rousseau
35. FAUVISM EXPRESSIONISM
1905 - 1935

early twentieth-century modern artists whose works
emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over
the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.
38. SURREALISM
1915 - 1950
• Surrealism a movement in art and literature that flourished in the early
twentieth century.
• Surrealism aimed at expressing imaginative dreams and visions free
from conscious rational control
40. CUBISM
1906 - 1920
• Cubism is an early-20th-century art movement which brought
European painting and sculpture historically forward toward 20th
century Modern art. Cubism in its various forms inspired related
movements in literature and architecture.
42. ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
1945
• Abstract expressionism is a post–World War II art movement in
American painting, developed in New York in the 1940s.
• It was the first specifically American movement to achieve
international influence and put New York City at the center of the
western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris.
43. EXAMPLE OF ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM ART
Lavender Mist
Artist: Jackson Pollock ―Jack the Dripper ‖
44. POP ART
1955 - 1973
• Pop art is an art movement that emerged in Britain and the United
States during the mid- to late-1950s.
• The movement presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by
including imagery from popular and mass culture, such
as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects.
52. OIL PAINTING
1. OIL PAINTING
• Oil painting can be a messy
task and can be quite scary
for beginners. Oil painting is
suitable for almost all kinds
of styles.
• Oil paint uses some drying oil
as a binder to the pigments,
which gives the wonderful
buttery feel to the paint.
53. WATERCOLOR PAINTING
2. WATERCOLOR PAINTING
• Watercolor painting is usually
done on the paper.
• Watercolor uses water based
solutions to mix the colors and
hence the name water color
painting.
54. PASTEL PAINTING
3. PASTEL PAINTING
• Pastel sticks are normally
used to create the pastel
paintings.
• Pastel paintings can be done
on canvas, so you can do
beautiful layering of colors
with pastels.
55. ACRYLIC PAINTING
4. ACRYLIC PAINTING
• Acrylic paint is a fast-
drying paint made of
pigment suspended
in acrylic polymer emulsion.
• Acrylic paints are water-
soluble, but become water-
resistant when dry.
56. SAND PAINTING
5. SAND PAINTING
• Painting on sand can be
quite messy and it's a
temporary art.
• The sand painting can be
captured on video using
speed motion, to understand
how the artist works on them.
• Sand painting is created
using coloured sands, which
is moved around on a fixed
surface using hands.
57. DIGITAL PAINTING
6. DIGITAL PAINTING
• Digital painting is the art
of creating artwork on a
computer, which makes it
resemble a watercolor
painting, oil painting or
even an acrylic painting.
59. MURAL PAINTING
• Mural painting has its roots
in the primeval instincts of
people to decorate their
surroundings and to use
wall surfaces as a form for
expressing ideas, emotions,
and beliefs
60. EASEL AND PANEL PAINTING
• The easel, or studio, picture was a form developed during the
Renaissance with the establishment of the painter as an individual
artist. Its scale and portability enabled European artists to extend the
range of themes, previously restricted to those suitable to mural
decoration. while Panel paintings, by strict definition, are small pictures
designed for specific sacred or secular purposes or as part of a
functional object.
62. MINIATURE PAINTING
• Miniature Painting - is a term applied
both to Western portrait miniatures
and to the Indian and Islamic forms
of manuscript painting discussed
below. Portrait miniatures, or limnings,
were originally painted in
watercolour with body colour on
vellum and card. They were often
worn in jewelled, enamelled lockets.
Sixteenth-century miniaturists, such as
Hans Holbein the Younger, Jean
Clouet, Nicholas Hilliard, and Isaac
Oliver, painted them in the tradition
of medieval illuminators. Their flat
designs, richly textured and minutely
detailed, often incorporated
allegorical and gilded heraldic
motifs.
63. SCROLL PAINTING
• Hand scrolls, traditional to
China and Japan, are ink
paintings on continuous
lengths of paper or silk.
They are unrolled at arm’s
length and viewed from
right to left. These generally
represent panoramic views
of rivers, mountain and
urban landscapes, and
domestic interiors.
64. SCREEN AND FAN PAINTING
• Screen and Fan Painting -
Folding screens and screen
doors originated in China
and Japan, probably during
the 12th century (or possibly
earlier), and screen painting
continued as a traditional
form into the 20th. They are in
ink or gouache on plain or
gilded paper and silk.
65. PANORAMAS PAINTING
• Panoramas were intended to simulate
the sensation of scanning an
extensive urban or country view or
seascape. This form of painting was
popular at the end of the 18th
century. Notable examples are The
Battle of Agincourt (1805), by R.K.
Porter, and the Mesdag Panorama
(1881), by Hendrik Willem Mesdag.
Panoramas might be compared to
Cinerama films and enjoyed as a
stimulating optical entertainment,
along with cyclorama drums (large
pictorial representations encircling the
spectator), trompe l’oeil diorama
peep shows, and the show box, for
which Thomas Gainsborough painted
glass transparencies.
66. MODERN FORMS PAINTING
• The concept of painting as a
medium for creating illusions of
space, volume, texture, light, and
movement on a flat, stationary
support was challenged by many
modern artists.
• Some late 20th-century forms, for
example, blurred the
conventional distinctions
between the mediums
of sculpture and painting.
67. OTHER FORMS OF PAINTING
• Portraiture
• Genre
• Landscape
• Still Life
• Narrative
74. COLOR
• Color (or hue) is at the heart of every painting.
• It is arguably the most important element because it sets the tone for how
viewers feel about the work.
• It can, for instance, be warm and inviting or cold and stark. Either way, color
can set the mood for a piece.
• There are endless ways that painters can play with color. Quite often, an
artist may be drawn toward a particular palette that tends to define the
style of their entire body of work.
75. TONE
• Tone and value are used interchangeably in painting.
• It is, essentially, how light or dark a paint is when you strip away the color.
• Understanding how to use it can greatly affect the way your art is perceived.
• Every color of paint has an almost endless variety of tones available to it. You
can mix it with mediums and neutral paints to adjust its tone however you
like. Some paintings have a very limited range of tones while others include
stark contrasts in tones.
76. LINE
• Line is defined as a narrow mark made by a brush, or a line created where
two objects or elements meet.
• It defines the subject of paintings and helps us imply things such as
movement.
• Landscape painters, in particular, are often concerned with the horizon line.
Painters of all styles can add dimension to their work by employing
the orthogonal and transversal lines found in drawings.
77. SHAPE
• Every piece of artwork includes the element of shape, which ties into line
and space.
• In essence, a shape is an enclosed area that is made when lines meet.
• When that shape takes on a third dimension (as in sculpture or some mixed
media), we then also have form.
• Artists often train themselves to see the shapes in everything. By breaking
down the basic shapes of a subject, it creates an accurate representation of
it in paintings and drawings.
78. SPACE
• Space (or volume) is another crucial element in any art and it can be used
to great effect in paintings.
• When talking about space in art, we think of the balance between positive
and negative space.
• Positive space is the subject itself while the negative space is the area of a
painting around it. Artists can play with a balance between these two
spaces to further influence how viewers interpret their work.
79. TEXTURE
• Paintings are the perfect medium to play with texture as well. This can be
interpreted as a pattern within the painting or the brushstrokes themselves.
• Some paints, particularly oils, are thicker and the way in which they're
applied on the canvas or board can give the work more depth because of
the texture.
• Texture can also be a challenge for painters.
• Replicating the shiny surface of glass or metal or the rough feel of a rock can
be difficult. It is in objects like these that a painter can rely on the other
elements of art—line, color, and tone, in particular—to further define the
texture.
80. SIZE
• "Size" refers to the scale of the painting itself as well as the scale of
proportions within the painting's elements.
• When it comes to determining the size of any piece of art, painters also have
many things to consider.
• Oversized paintings can be just as dramatic as a very small piece and both
have their own challenges.
82. ENCAUSTIC
• In the technique known as encaustic, the medium for the powdered color is
hot wax which is painted onto a wood surface with a brush.
• It is then smoothed with a metal instrument resembling a spoon, and then
blended and set over a flame to soften and set the colors into the wood.
• This method produces durable colors and permits sculptural modeling of the
paint surface.
• Because of the wax medium, the colors are semi-translucent and look fresh
and lively.
84. FRESCO
• Fresco, also known as Buon Fresco or True Fresco, entails painting on freshly
spread, moist plaster.
• First, layers of plaster are applied to the surface. While the final layer is still
wet, the artist applies the colors, which are earth pigments mixed with water.
• The colors penetrate the wet plaster and combine chemically with it,
producing a painted surface which does not peel when exposed to
moisture. As the paint must be painted on wet plaster, the amount of plaster
which may be put down at one time is limited to what can be painted at
one sitting. Often lines can be seen in frescos around an area which was one
day's work. The painting must be done rapidly and without mistakes. It
produces a mat surface with fairly DE saturated colors. This technique was
perfected in Renaissance Italy.
86. EGG TEMPERA
• In this method, the pigment is mixed with egg yolk or both the yolk and white
of an egg.
• It is thinned with water and applied to a gesso ground (plaster mixed with a
binding) on a panel. It was also used on parchment or paper to illustrate or
embellish books in the era before the 15th century development of the
printing press.
• This type of painting dries very quickly and produces an opaque, matte
surface. The colors tend to dry to a lighter value than they appear when
wet. The colors produced are bright and saturated. Modeling is achieved by
hatching. Egg tempera was used for panel painting until the 15th century.
88. MOSAIC
• The design is created by small pieces of colored glass, stone, or ceramic
(called Tesserae), embedded in wet mortar which has been spread over the
surface to be decorated.
• Their slightly irregular placement on a surface creates a very lively, reflective
surface when viewed at a distance. This was often used to decorate walls,
floors, and ceilings. This link takes you to an gallery of Byzantine mosaics.
