Hello,

Painting is the practice of applying paint, color or other medium to a surface. Painting is a mode of expression and the forms are numerous. Color and tone are the essence of painting as pitch and rhythm are of music. Color is highly subjective, but has observable psychological effects, although these can differ from one culture to the next.

Thanks,
