I love painting, watercolours, acrylics etc. Do you like painting?
I do sometimes. Painting is where you apply paint in different strokes and colors to a solid surface.
I think it was interesting how Van Gogh applied different stroke techniques to his art. 
Indeed. Painting can be natural, photographic, abstract, or any other number of various techniques. It gives each one its own unique sense of style, really
And sometimes a combination of many different techniques, particularly with the information available on the internet these days.
Yup! Painting goes back all the way to pre-historic humans and across all cultures
It has changed a lot over the times though, still there is beauty in those primitive ways.
Oh, absolutely! It's a mode of creative expression
