The Making of the First Ever Fully Painted Feature Film “Loving Vincent”

The animated elements are line drawings. The drawings are transferred to transparent sheets, and the shapes between the lines are then colored in with paint on the back side (so as to not overpaint the lines). You wouldn’t call the result a painting. Background art is often painted.

Look up “cel animation”.

Thank you! My misunderstanding, I had forgotten cell shading.

I'm not sure why. The background is painted, Some things that move get outlined first (something painters do all the time on canvas) and then, as you say, are also painted.

These paintings are then composited together to make a single frame, but it's still all just painting.

I'd argue that rotoscoping entire frames of film would also count as painting. Undone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undone_(TV_series)) might count as well. It's rotoscoping placed over oil painted backgrounds.
