Editing Painterliness (section)

==Other usage==
Although ''painterly'' generally refers to a certain use of paint in art, it happens that some forms of [[sculpture]] make use of apparently random surface effects which, if not exactly resembling brushstrokes, contain the traits of painterliness.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wölfflin |first=Heinrich |year=2012 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pjwhZxy7fYAC&pg=PA54 |title=Principles of Art History |publisher=Courier Dover Publications |page=54 |isbn=9780486141763}}</ref> The application of the term  outside the realm of painting may help the viewer, or listener, experience more deeply the significance of [[Auguste Rodin]]'s surfaces or [[Richard Strauss]]'s flow of chromatic harmonies.

More recently, "painterly" is used to describe computer software, especially mobile apps, designed to create special effects on photographs, mimicking recognizable artistic media such as oils, watercolors, Japanese woodcuts, etc., or based on individual styles like [[van Gogh]], [[Monet]], and so on. The resulting photographs, once transformed, are also called "painterly".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://iphonephotographyschool.com/painterly-apps/|title = 5 Best Painting Apps That Turn Your iPhone Photos into Paintings|date = 21 May 2019}}</ref>
