Painting is the act or process of using paint. The paint can create an
artwork known as a painting, or it can be used more practically as a
protective coating or form of decoration. Paintings are a form of visual
art that captures the expression of ideas and emotions on a
two-dimensional surface. Artists use the elements of shape, colors,
line, tones, and textures in unique ways to produce paintings that
convey sensations of movement, volume, space, and light, traditionally
on a flat surface.
For me, outside it being an artform, it acts as an extension of internal
feelings that are difficult to articulate to anyone and when it is just
the brush and my canvas. I have the ability to articulate every emotion
l have because l feel free.
