Painterly Definition
This term may be used to refer to any qualities that are exclusive to the painting art, or any characteristic of a painter. The term is also seen used to refer to a painting style in which forms are created using colors and patches. In such paintings, the shape is distinguished by variations of color and tone rather than by precise edges and contour. There is openness in form and the color and tonal relationship is exploited.
