The World of Painting
Quotations about Painting
Art plays an important role in our life. It aids the people`s understanding of their culture. No doubt tastes should be developed through images of high artistic culture, where as works of popular culture as a rule meet consumers tastes.
In my opinion the habit of looking at good pictures is in itself a means by which taste can be formed. Art allows people to talk about emotionally meaningful experiences.
Every artist tries to develop his own style of painting to differ from other ones. There are many styles of painting in art: a portrait, a still life, a landscape, a seascape and etc.
A portrait is an image of a person or animal. Besides showing what someone looks like, a portrait often captures a mood or personality.
Portrait Painting
A still life shows objects, such as flowers, food, or musical instruments. A still life reveals an artist's skill in painting shapes, light, and shadow.
Still-life Painting
A landscape is an outdoor scene. A landscape artist uses paint to create not only land, water, and clouds but air, wind, and sunlight.
Landscape Painting
A real life scene captures life in action. It could show a busy street, a beach party, a dinner gathering, or anyplace where living goes on.
Real life Painting
A religious work of art shares a religious message. It might portray a sacred story or express an artist's faith.

An artist has the skill to combine form and colour into harmonious entity and to represent a brilliant colour scheme. The artists pictures may be dull, crude, chaotic and colourless daub of paint. But in spite of it they are an exquisite piece of painting.
