Painting is the tenth studio album by Ocean Colour Scene, released on 11 February 2013.

[2] In September 2021 the album was released on white vinyl for the very first time.

Painting was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics.

[3] In a review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "They continue to mine interesting sounds out of this vein but the sounds and structures, not the songs, are what's memorable about Painting.

Ocean Colour Scene are agile within the confines of their wheelhouse so it's enjoyable to hear them play and construct records, even if they rarely give you a reason for a return visit.
