Usage notes
- Use dipingere for applying paint. For drawing with pencil or pen, use disegnare, not dipingere.
- For figurative 'portray/depict,' dipingere is common in writing and speech; descrivere is more neutral and less vivid.
- Past participle is dipinto. With essere in passive forms, it agrees: la parete è dipinta.
- past participle dipinto
