Painting is a visual art, which is characterized by the practice of
applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface
(called the "matrix"[1] or "support").[2] The medium is commonly applied
to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges,
and airbrushes, may be used. One who produces paintings is called a
painter.
