Painters also painted on site, as in "on-the-site". Murals, or gesso, for instance (Gesso is painting while the plaster is still wet. You can do cool bas-relief stuff that way, and the paint colors further into the plaster too, making the paint harder to rub off the wall, because it is part of the wall.) (At least I think I have the word right; I'm tired enough for my dyslexia to kick in.) And if you go back far enough, painters mixed their own pigments in oil, so they didn't even need to carry a lot of paint around.
