#3No it's not, as the author says in the 3rd sentence of the article. Watercolor paint is not an adhesive in any sense of the word. And there are plenty of paints which also dry, leaving a powder behind that can easily rub off.
So yeah, some paint is glue, some is not.

I think its fair to say you might've missed the opportunity to grant some poetic license.
Maybe the wider point was the more philosophical one: art binds our minds together, and therefore paintings are a kind of mind glue, figuratively ..

At least the abstract is more precise:
> The secret of oil paint, as mastered by our greatest artists
Nevertheless, an interesting read.

#6 I remember being quite blown away as a 20 year old during a trip to Paris by some of the paintings in the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay. I had known many of these paintings before, from Wikipedia and school books, but it seems to be impossible to capture the effect of an oil painting in a digital or reproduced image, because, as the article describes, an oil painting is essentially 3-dimensional.
(I also distinctly remember being shocked by the size of some paintings, especially the crowning of Napoleon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_of_Napoleon_I#/medi...) This painting was printed in many of my history school books, but I was not even remotely aware that is nearly 10 meters wide.)

It's not impossible, computers have been modeling 3D fluids for a long time. It might be computationally intensive, but definitely not impossible.

Oh, yeah, and waves in the water of those hyper-detailed Italian 16th century paintings, or tree leaves -- when lit correctly, you get specular highlights that seriously look like sunlight glistening on there. Blows me away every time.
Those paintings are quite low-resolution on average, but it took me a while to figure out how they could add so much resolution where it mattered, and turns out it's because they have an entire extra dimension to vary things in.

And yet, it's the postal stamp-sized Mona Lisa that gets all the attention...
Sure, it's a good painting, but I personally find it to pale in comparison to the other works on display at the Louvre.

#10That's why you can "glue" wallpaper on the wall with paint.
Rather helpful knowledge, when you just want to put a small piece over a blemish on the wall.
