Painting is using colours to make art. It is also the word for a painted work of art. There are two kinds of paints that are used: water colors and oils. Other artists like working with pencil or chalk.

Famous paintings are often kept in art galleries, like the National Gallery in London and the Louvre (Paris) where one of the most famous paintings in the world hangs, The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo DaVinci. People don't have to go to a famous gallery to view art. There are private art galleries in many cities around the world.
