Painting is used to convey creative expression. Much like drawing, painting is a visual art form. Brushes, and various tools are used to apply pigment to a hard surface. Throughout history, painting has been used to describe a moment, historical record, political views, emotion and many other areas of the human condition. Paint or pigment has been mixed with oils, egg, thinner, and a variety of other less common additives to give the image qualities such as mood, integrity, depth and adhesion.
Oil
A paint type where pigments are mixed in an oil, often linseed. Oil paint dries slowly and some art techniques exploit this to build up mixed and layered colors within the work. Oils have been the principal medium for paintings since the 15th century.
Neo-Cubism
Neo-Cubism describes a revived form of Cubism, the highly influential art movement which began around 1907 and popularized by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Neo-Cubism retains Cubism's multifaceted perspective while injecting the modernism, abstraction, abstract expressionism, and post-modernism that was borne from Cubism. Emillions artist, Alain Beraud, calls his painting style Neo-Cubisme, his homage to the 20th century masters of Cubism.
