Realism is a painting art style that aims to give the viewer a reflection of the real world.

You may also see photorealism referred to as hyperrealism or super-realism. This painting style aims to create a
painting that’s indistinguishable from real life or a photograph – hence the name.

Expressionism is a style of art that doesn’t concern itself with realism, images and scenes are often distorted or
painted with otherworldly, vivid colours that don’t match up with reality.

Impressionism is a painting style most commonly associated with the 19th century where small brush strokes are
used to build up a larger picture.

Abstract paintings avoid realism altogether. Whatever the subject in the painting, it may not be accurately
represented at all in the artwork. Objects may be represented by a colour or a shape instead, with the interpretation
left up to the viewer.

Surrealism first became a movement in the 20th century, with artists such as Salvador Dali becoming household
names.

Pop art became a movement that drew inspiration from the commodification and commercialism of modern life.

Oil paintings are one of the oldest forms of painting and remain one of the most popular painting medium types to this
day.

apply the colour, with several different varieties available.

Frescoes are traditionally a quite large-scale painting medium, as they are usually applied over a layer of freshly laid
lime plaster.

Digital Format. Using digital painting tools which include virtual brushes of different sizes and textures as well as a
range of colours that would be difficult to procure in reality, digital artists are able to create paintings that can push the
boundaries of their imagination.

History Painting
These focus on a representation of a particular historical, religious, or allegorical event. As such, a moral message is
usually a key component of the painting in question.

Portrait art uses people as its subjects. The most commonly known type of portrait art focuses on a single person, but
group or self-portraits are also classified under this type of painting subject.
