While defining the term “painting”, we commonly mean application of variety colours on the surface or canvas. The canvas or support can be anything varying from paper, wood, glass, cloth etc. But just spreading of colours on canvas doesn’t mean painting. The basic characteristic of painting is to have a sense of artistic mind. It combines the talent of drawing, composing and expressing the thoughts through colours and paints.
