Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, gesture (as in gestural painting), composition, narration (as in narrative art), or abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational, photographic, abstract, narrative, symbolistic, emotive, or political in nature.

The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, as well as objects.

I dabble in oil paintings, watercolour paintings and sketches. Each of these forms expresses a world in themselves and gives a sense of solace to the people taking in their beauty.
