Wikipedia
:otheruses For information on the United States U.S. borough, see Paint, Pennsylvania.'' Paint is the general term for a family of products used to protect and add color to an object or surface by covering it with a pigmented coating. As a verb, painting is the application of paint. One who paints is called a painter.Paint is very common and is applied to almost every kind of object. It is a method of producing art, an industrial coating, a driving aid (lane markings), a preservative (rust-prone steel auto bodies), on interior walls, on exterior surfaces exposed to weather and has a myriad of other uses.With art, it has also been used for centuries in the creation of great works, such as Leonardo da Vinci's ''Mona Lisa'' and Vincent Van Gogh's ''Starry Night.''
Components - There are generally three components to a paint: Binder (material)binder, diluent and additives. However, only the binder is absolutely required. The binder is the part which eventually solidifies to form the dried paint film. The diluent serves to adjust the viscosity of the paint. It is volatile and does not become part of the paint film. Anything else is an additive. Typical binders include synthetic or natural resins such as Acryl groupacrylics, polyurethanes, polyesters, melamines, oils, or latex.Typical diluents include organic solvents such as alcohols, ketones, esters, glycol ethers, and the like. Water is a common diluent. Sometimes volatile low-molecular weight synthetic resins also serve as diluents.Typical additives include pigments, dyes, catalysts, thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, texturizers, adhesion promoters, flatteners (de-glossing agents), and the like.After application, the paint solidifies and becomes tack-free. Depending on the type of binder, this hardening may be a result of curing (polymerization), evaporation, or even cooling. In oil-based paint, curing takes the form of oxidation, for example oxidation of linseed oil to form linoxin to create a varnish. Other common cured films are prepared from Cross-linkcrosslinkers, such as polyurethane or melamine resins, reacted with acrylic polyester or polyurethane resins, often in the presence of a catalyst which serves to make the curing reaction proceed more quickly or under milder conditions. These cured-film paints can be either solvent-borne or waterborne. Other waterborne paints are emulsions of solid binders in water (in fact, such paints are often called simply "emulsions"). When the diluent evaporates, the molecules of the binder coalesce to form a solid film. Such emulsion paints are also known as latex paints because the polymer is formed through an emulsion polymerization through which the monomers are emulsified in a water-continuous phase. The polymer itself is not soluble in water and hence the paint is water resistant after it has dried. Residual surfactants in the paint as well as hydrolyzehydrolytic effects with some polymers cause the paint to remain susceptiable to softening and, over time, degradation by water.Still other films are formed by cooling of the binder. For example, encaustic or wax paints are liquid when warm, and harden upon cooling.
Art - Since the time of the Renaissance, siccative (drying) oil paints, primarily linseed oil, have been the most commonly used kind of paints in fine art applications; oil paint is still common today. However, in the 20th century, water-based paints, including watercolors and acrylic paints, became very popular with the development of latex and Acryl groupacrylic pigment suspensions. Milk paints (also called casein), where the medium is derived from milk, were popular in the 19th century and are still available today. Egg tempera (where the medium is egg yolk) is still in use as well, as are encaustic wax-based paints. Gouache is a variety of watercolor paint which was also used in the Middle Ages and Renaissance for manuscript illumination. The pigment was often made from ground semiprecious stones such as lapis lazuli and the binder made from either gum arabic or egg white. Gouache is commercially available today.Poster paint has been used primarily in the creation of student works, or by children.
Pigment - Main article: Pigment''Pigments, usually insoluble powders, are used both to provide color, and to make paint opaque, thus protecting the substrate from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light while also increasing a paint's hiding power. Some pigments are toxic, such as those used in lead paint. Paint manufacturers replaced lead white with a less toxic substitute, which can even be used to color food titanium white (Titanium Dioxide) which was first used in paints in the 19th century. The titanium white used in most paints today is often coated with silicon or aluminum oxides for better durability. Some newer paints - called prism paint - can produce effects where the color changes depending on the angle (orientation) at which it is viewed. Modern United StatesU.S. and CanadaCanadian banknotes, specifically the newer higher denomination notes, have this effect on them. This effect is produced by having pigment molecules that are long and thin and are meant to dry in a specific orientation, with different ends of the molecule being different colors.
Application - Paint can be applied as a as a solid, a gaseous suspension or a liquid. Techniques vary depending on the practical or artistic results desired.As a solid (usually in industrial and automotive applications), the paint is applied as a very fine powder, then baked at high temperature. This melts the powder and causes it to adhere (stick) to the surface. The reasons for doing this involve the chemistries of the paint, the surface itself, and perhaps even the chemistry of the substrate (the overall object being painted).As a gas or as a gaseous suspension, the paint is suspended in solid or liquid form in a gas that is sprayed on an object. The paint sticks to the object. The reasons for doing this include:the application mechanism is air and thus no solid object ever touches the object being painted;the distribution of the paint is very uniform so there are no sharp linesit is possible to deliver very small amounts of paint or to paint very slowly;a chemical (typically a solvent) can sprayed along with the paint to dissolve together both the delivered paint and the chemicals on the surface of the object being painted; some chemical reactions in paint involve the orientation of the paint molecules.In the liquid application, paint can be applied by direct application using Brushbrushes, paint rollers, Palette knifeblades, other instruments, or body parts. Examples of body parts include fingerpainting, where the paint is applied by hand, whole-body painting (popular in the 1960s avant-garde movement), and cave painting, in which a pigment (usually finely-ground charcoal) is held in the mouth and spat at a wall (Note: doing this with modern paints, which are highly toxic, might cause death or permanent injury). Rollers generally have a handle that allows for different lengths of poles which can be attached to allow for painting at different heights. Generally, roller application takes two coats for even color. A roller with a thicker nap is used to apply paint on uneven surfaces. Edges are often finished with an angled brush.After liquid paint is applied, there is an interval during which it can be blended with additional painted regions (at the "wet edge") called "open time." The open time of an emulsion paint can be extended by adding white spirit, similar glycols such as Dowanol™ (propylene glycol ether) or commercial open time prolongers. This can also facilitate the mixing of different wet paint layers for aesthetic effect.Paint may also be applied by flipping or spraying the paint, dripping, or by dipping an object in paint.
Product Variants - Wood stain is a type of paint that is very "thin," that is, low in viscosity, and formulated so that the pigment penetrates the surface rather than remaining in a film on top of the surface. Stain is predominantly pigment or dye and solvent with little binder, designed primarily to add color without providing a surface coating. Varnish and shellac provide a protective coating without changing the color. They are paints without pigment. Lacquer is usually a fast-drying solvent-based paint or varnish that produces an especially hard, durable finish.An enamel paint is a paint that dries to an especially hard, usually glossy, finish. Enamel can be made by adding varnish to oil-based paint.FingerpaintInks are similar to paints, except they are typically made using dyes exclusively (no pigments), and are designed so as not to leave a thick film of binder.Titanium dioxide is extensively used for both house paint and artist's paint, because it is permanent and has good covering power. Titanium oxide pigment accounts for the largest use of the element. Titanium paint is an excellent reflector of infrared, and is extensively used in solar observatories where heat causes poor seeing conditions.Anti-climb paint is a thick, non-drying coating for parapets, downcomers, pipes, window sills, fencing and walls etc. It acts as an extremely effective deterrent to would be intruders and burglars by making surfaces virtually unclimbable, whilst marking intruders hands and clothing. Coated surfaces appear normal but will remain unset and slippery a period of time.
History - Ancient painted walls, to be seen at Dendera, Egypt, although exposed for many ages to the open air, still possess a perfect brilliancy of color, as vivid as when painted, perhaps 2000 years ago. The Egyptians mixed their colors with some gummy substance, and applied them detached from each other without any blending or mixture. They appeared to have used six colors: white, black, blue, red, yellow, and green. They first covered the field entirely with white, upon which they traced the design in black, leaving out the lights of the ground color. They used minium for red, and generally of a dark tinge. Pliny the ElderPliny mentions some painted ceilings in his day in the town of Ardea, which had been executed at a date prior to the foundation of Rome. He expresses great surprise and admiration at their freshness, after the lapse of so many centuries.See also'' lacquer, varnish, fresco

WORKS & WORLS
They say that nobody has ever painted well one hundred percent of the time – the explanation for this could be that when you “try” to do something, you’re working from the outside and everything comes out very forced. When you allow your Being to work through you, you find yourself working from the inside, and this is when success flows. Quimnata’s work, full of purity of heart, realizes the greatness of that which simply ‘is’. In a world of peace… -or perhaps of agitation- being sensitive is the cause and the effect; because sensitive people are aware of a thousand interesting and beautiful things that surround them, where insensitive people see nothing. To do any kind of creative work, you have to be sensitive, because the creative worker is ‘a receptive tool’ attuned to the Divine Mind

Celestial Art by Shane Rickman
I paint to inspire, to wake the spirit from its slumber and to remind myself of the splendor and beauty of life. I decided when painting, to allow my innocence of spirit and naive form to grow and find their way into my art. I learned, over time, to accept the lines, colors, and ideas that shaped my way to art.
