*Painting is a complex and wonderful form of artistry. Sometimes, however, it's difficult to classify and hard to know what exact classification a painting should be listed as, unless you've studied it for a very long time.  As we dive deeper into this fascinating art form, we will do our best to teach you as we go.

Until then, these are the painting genres we will be covering.  Keep checking back for further information on painters we will be featuring.  Additionally, check our calendar (on the home page) for upcoming art exhibitions around the world.
