paint application

Brushing on color

Paint application is the method or process of putting paint onto a surface.

Different tools—brushes, rollers, sprayers, palette knives—yield different results in texture and coverage.

In computing, a paint application is software for creating or editing digital images: I opened the screenshot in a paint application to crop it.
