		Traditionally, watercolor paint is applied with brushes, but it may be applied with other implements in experimental approaches or mixed with other materials (usually acrylic or collage).

	History Painting
		Reynolds narrowly defines history painting, urging artists to turn to Scripture and to antiquity for their subjects; often these sources might, as an added advantage, impart through allegorical interpretation moral and didactic lessons to the greatest number of people.
		Aside from whatever merits history painting had as art, its very "grandness" was ironically the cause of its decline in popularity: quite simply, few patrons had the walls to accommodate these imposing works.
		But the painters did not abandon the subjects of history painting; instead, they made smaller pictures and approached their literary subjects in different ways, with a new focus on more intimate scenes, the minor characters, and the psychology of the characters and situations depicted.

		Since the paint never dries otherwise, cleanup is not needed (except when one wants to use a different color and the same brush).
		Although not technically true oils (the medium is an unidentified "non-drying synthetic oily liquid, imbedded with a heat sensitive curing agent"), the paintings resemble oil paintings and are usually shown as oil paintings.

	Irises (painting) Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Irises is a painting by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, one of the first he did while he was at the asylum at Saint Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France in the last year before his death in 1890.
		It was painted before his first attack there; this is evident in the lack of high tension which is seen in his later works.
		Van Gogh considered this painting a study, which is probably why there are no known drawings for it, although Theo, Van Gogh's brother, thought better of it and quickly submitted it to the Salon des Indépendants in September 1889.

	Art Bulletin, The: Why Chinese painting is history
		Contemporary views of history and art history have taught us to reject the authority of earlier discourses-their terminologies, concepts, and assumptions-especially those connected with nineteenth-century positivism, which states that scientific principles must be the a priori basis for definitive, correct, and true interpretations.
		While postmodern theorists have critiqued modern art history as a "coy science," (7) social art historians, asking, "Is art history?" have argued for a shift in focus from histories of styles to "pieces of history," or micro-histories.
		To date a painting, for example, we must first analyze it in the context of a period style, which, in turn, is defined by an analysis of paintings.

		Predelle were frequently used in religious paintings where related subjects were painted to accompany the main one, and like mine, they were often executed with a coloration different from that of the main subject.
