Painting as one of fine arts was born perhaps in the pre-historic times. The oldest known painted “pieces of art” are the drawings on rocks in the cave near Lascaux in France. It is estimated that the drawings are over 17 thousand years old. Since that time painting has evolved. Today there are many techniques and painting tools. However, the most popular are still standard oil paint, brushes and canvases, as well as paintings in traditional frames.
