Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. As a phenomenon that can chronicle a move towards civilization yet rapidly diminish with modernity, industrialization, or outside influence, the nature of folk art is specific to its particular culture. The varied geographical and temporal prevalence and diversity of folk art make it difficult to describe as a whole, though some patterns have been demonstrated. Antique folk artLogo of the Folk Art Museum Lok Virsa in Islamabad, Pakistan.Antique the folk art is distinguished from traditional art in that while it is collected today based mostly on its artistic merit; it was never intended as a category to be art for art’s sake. Examples include: weathervanes, old store signs and carved figures, itinerant portraits, carousel horses, fire buckets, painted game boards, cast iron doorstops and many other similar lines of highly collectible "whimsical" antiques.

It depends. If you are painting in water based paints, you would go light to dark. (water colors, fabric paint etc.) If you are using acrylic, oils or house paint, you will want to go dark to light. It is also going to depend on your surface. Painting on paper, tissue and fabrics it is better to go light to dark. (You don't want your surface to crumple on you.) On canvas, wood, tin and other hard surfaces you will probably go dark to light. The truth of the matter is... it depends on you. Go with the flow. Don't stress how other people are doing it... do what works best for you. Each artist has their own finger print, their own style. You have to figure out which way is going to be yours.
