Painter's is the possessive form of painter, indicating something belonging to or associated with a painter.

It appears in compound terms for tools and materials of the trade: painter's tape (easily removable masking tape), painter's palette, painter's easel.

Painter's colic is an old term for lead poisoning, once common among house painters who worked with lead-based paints.
