	Painting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Painting is the practice of applying pigment suspended in a carrier (or medium) and a binding agent (a glue) to a surface (support) such as paper, canvas or a wall.
		Artistic painting is considered by many to be among the most important of the art forms.
		Different types of paint are usually identified by the medium that the pigment is suspended or embedded in, which determines the general working characteristics of the paint, such as viscosity, miscibility, solubility, drying time, etc.

	Painting style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In art and painting, style can refer either to the aesthetic values followed in choosing what to paint (and how) or to the physical techniques employed.
		By changing the way they paint, apply colour, texture, perspective, or the way they see shapes and ideas, the artist establishes a certain set of "rules".
		An artist may give the style a name such as "Expressionism", or a name may be applied later, as in the case of "abstract art".

		In this style, you paint the figure using the lightest of the three colours, which is then toned down using a wash of the darkest of the colours.
