Painting

"Painting only can "describe" everything which can be seen and suggest every emotion which can be felt! Art reaches back into the babyhood of time, and is man's only lasting monument!" (William Hunt, Talks About Art)

Painting is the process of applying pigment (colors) suspended in a medium and a glue (for binding) to surface (Like walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, tiles, clay or pot). Some modern paintings incorporate materials like sand, saw dust.
