Paintings refers to the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid
surface. The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as
knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.
In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called
"a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass,
lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. co In Uganda there are
two mostly common types of painting in Uganda based on the materials used namely: oil painting
and watercolor painting. This is mainly because the universities in Uganda mainly focus on teaching this two types of painting.
Price refers the amount of money that has to be paid to acquire a given product.
As well as the amount people are prepared to
pay for a product represents its value, price is also a measure of value.
Low price refers to something being cheap in relation to other things. Therefore, in the field of
painting, a painting is believed to be of low price when it costs less than two hundred dollars which
is about seven hundred Ugandan Shillings. Most of the paintings in Uganda are below two hundred
thousand Ugandan shillings which very low compared to other paintings all over the world | en_US |
