CRAINT<br />
Noun: craint, crainte; plural noun: craints<br />
[French definition: to fear]<br />
Verb: craint, craindre<br />
1. Action, a form in which colour and paint exist as one:<br />
They are attempting to craint today<br />
Painting allows a familiarisation to colour. Placing material with colour there is an acknowledgment of existing<br />
unity. Craint permits this unison, introducing colour and paint as equal forms. Colour is possessed by paint,<br />
creating different sensations, which are spread over a surface and left to dry. Craint acts in various ways. A<br />
drying time allows for the production of a thin protective coating, pushing and pulling the layers beneath the<br />
wet paint. The boundary of craint becomes apparent, physical, acting almost like a shield, holding in the fluid,<br />
and protecting the tension of the skin. The skin in turn creates multiple dissimilar areas of surface, all produced<br />
with only one material, craint.<br />
