It is difficult to identify leading painters in Africa. Again, because of the wide territory and variant culture, each country or community has a host of talented artists with individualistic styles. African paintings are usually in oil and water color. They depict colorful abstracts and beautiful landscape. Important works may be viewed in museums and galleries.

Wildlife is another popular subject of the African painter. Original oil paintings of leopards, lions and cheetahs may be ordered online. Prints are just as abundant.
