**PAINTING EXPERIENCE** My Saturday was absolutely fun, I went to visit a friend who’s into drawing and painting he took time to explain to us what painting is and the tools he used for painting, the kind of passion he has for painting which I was amaze cause he’s very good at what he’s doing. ![83C4587B-EA39-4868-9901-B37F2F304F2B.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmakU5SvysaMy5CrV3ZyRNDS3vj1GVPyFNwpgDEkxbUfvh/83C4587B-EA39-4868-9901-B37F2F304F2B.jpeg) **MEANING OF PAINTING** He said painting simply means expression of ideas and emotions with the way he said it and the expression on his face I almost fell in love with painting though I used to do painting with coral draw but with the kind kind of emotion he gave to us I almost diverted painting but the issue is that I’m not really good in drawing. He further explained that,Painting is an art form made through the application of paint, color, or pigments. ![5FAAE9D3-F550-4132-9A7F-4B2FED43FDA9.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNenN5WQjy7kfskCg8aAPqgRg7JXJLb5pwjmXpzaTUumn/5FAAE9D3-F550-4132-9A7F-4B2FED43FDA9.jpeg) **THE TOOLS USED FOR PAINTING ARE:** * Tape * Ruler * Pencil * Marker * Adjustable Angle * Color * Brush **RULER** Ruler is important painting tools that you will need to measure the wall and to get a straight line without spoiling the lines. **TAPE** if you are planning to block off certain areas so that they don’t accidentally get painted, then you need to invest in quality painter’s tape to help give you the the exact design you’re looking for. **PENCIL** Pencil is the most important tools in drawing because without it you can’t draft your image and it is advisable to use pencil cause it can be easily erase. **MARKER** Marker is used for painting the already Skitch work which is done from pencil work to make it bolder. **ADJUSTMENT ANGLE** He didn’t dwell much on this though but he said it’s used to adjust the incorrect angle of the drawing. **COLORS** Very necessary in painting to beautify the wall and give your drawing a befitting design. **BRUSHING** Brush is for painting trim and cutting. ![C2ED9664-5157-4EB8-8796-D563C49187E7.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS1D2p7D3Eazi21yDwg5bhvcBHy45tagADv56sTmmtqwy/C2ED9664-5157-4EB8-8796-D563C49187E7.jpeg) For you to avoid making a mistake in your painting You must work with a clean surface, cause a dirty wall will prevent the paint from adhering or cause the paint to bubble.and before using any brush make sure it is very clean to avoid dirty. ![2D908C92-D621-4B71-BB27-065B731F1626.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXBR6k4fEePKJ3hvwZ8sew7UVAt6a4NsKjX3as12biHyH/2D908C92-D621-4B71-BB27-065B731F1626.jpeg) **CONCLUSION** if it sounds too good to be true, then believe it is indeed true with what I saw and learn indeed painting is fun and colorful. Painting require adequate preparation and careful work I’m not too careful and I don’t even know how to draw well so I can’t even go into the field but I really love it.
