			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Decorative painting is a very broad field in the realm of the arts. Since time immemorial, its definite meaning is being argued upon by artists and scholars from various universities and institutions. The attempts to be exact with the termâ€™s specific context always fail, though, since they are blanketed by peopleâ€™s general understanding of it: any kind of painting whose aim is to come up with something beautiful, using an array of brushing techniques, media, and materials.</p>
<p>In contemporary times, decorative painting is used to refer to artistic works painted on surfaces other than the conventional canvas. Among these surfaces are fabric, wood, glass, plastic, ceramics, potteries, marbles, tiles, and the like. Like all forms of painting, decorative painting necessitates different types of paint, specialty brushes, and other materials used for stroking.</p>
<p>In the usual home dÃ©cor and childrenâ€™s art lessons, the use of acrylic-based paint products has been a tradition because these products dry very fast, clearly produce desired colors, safe, water-based, and economical. Among more experienced decorative painters though, various kinds of complex oil-based paint, gels, glazes, and extenders are used in order to come up with deeper and more complicated effects.</p>
<p>Techniques in decorative painting are diverse. They range from the most basic brushing styles like freehand stroking to the most complicated ones like stippling and pickling. Decorative Painting is an institutionalized field in the visual arts; many scholarly institutions worldwide offer decorative painting as undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students who finish these courses become professional decorative painters and top-notch artists.</p>
