Painting and printmaking are two forms of visual art that have been around for centuries. Painting is the practice of applying pigment to a surface, usually canvas or paper, to create an image. Printmaking is the process of creating multiple copies of an image by transferring it from one surface to another. Both painting and printmaking involve the use of various tools and techniques to create a desired effect. Both art forms have been used to express ideas, emotions, and stories throughout history.
