The word «painter» came from the German word meaning the painter, and this is partly true: the man of this profession in his work constantly deals with paints.
Painters paint buildings, walls and ceilings of premises, cars of trains, car bodies, all kinds of constructions and products made of metal, wood, plastic, glass and so on.
It may seem that any person can perform the work of a painter – what is so difficult is to paint, for example, a wall? This can even be done by a child! But it only seems so simple, but in reality you will get an unevenly painted wall with divorces and traces of brush strokes. After all, you must also be able to paint. You need to learn how to paint properly.
Painter know everything about paints
Painters use paints based on various substances, such as water, glue, resin and many others. Depending on the presence of a particular substance in its composition, the paint acquires certain qualities – for example, it becomes waterproof.
Therefore, each kind of paint is used to strictly defined surfaces. And the painter should know all this. If he, for example, paint the building with water-based paint, then the first rain will wash it off, so for painting the exterior surfaces – the outer sides of buildings, houses, and – painters use oil paint, which is not afraid of water.
Apply this kind of paint for walls of premises, where it is very wet, for example, rooms with swimming pools, bathrooms and others. It is also painted with metal products.
That the paint from ceilings and walls did not fall off, for their painting use paints on glutinous basis which due to glue are strongly kept on a surface.
There are also paints based on various synthetic substances, which after drying form a protective film on the surface, thereby providing reliable protection for structures in a wide variety of conditions.
What else does the painter do?
Before painting the painter conducts a long and difficult work to prepare the surface for painting. First, it cleans the surface of dirt, then applies a layer of special substance on it, on which the paint is easier to apply and more firmly holds.
Next, the painter grinds the surface, that is, makes it smooth, so that the paint is laid flat, and only after that it paints with brushes of different sizes or uses any automatic paint spraying equipment - they are called spray guns.
The painter, like the artist in his palette, can get different shades of paint of any color. To dilute the paint, he uses special substances – solvents.
In conclusion, you can say: to become a painter, you need to know the chemistry, construction and have the skills of drawing.
