Further explanation

Graphic art is a branch of fine art whose manufacturing process uses print techniques, usually on paper. Except for the Monotype technique, the process is able to create copies of the same work in large quantities, this is called the printing process. Each copy of the work is known as an 'impression'. Painting or drawing, on the other hand, creates unique original artwork. The mold was created from the surface of a material, commonly used are: metal plate, usually copper or zinc for engraving or etching; stones used for lithography; wood planks for woodcut. There are many other materials used in this work of art. Each print is usually considered an original work of art, not a copy. Works printed from a plate create an edition, during the era of modern art each work was signed and numbered to indicate that the work was a limited edition.

Painting is a method that some people use to develop their talents in drawing. Painting itself has a meaning, which is an activity carried out by someone to spill his heart into the form of images. Which is depicted in a field to convey the painter's message to certain parties.

The media used by the painter can be anything, for example canvas, paper or a board. The tools used by painters to make their paintings also vary, depending on the method and will of each painter.
