It's first painting the whole painting (or the background) in a different color, only to make the top coat colors come out better.

It is a non-figurative painting. It means it does not depict or represent anything. It is a painting - not a painting of anything.

I have a painting by G. Fobis and don't know anything other than that - maybe no help at all! The painting is of a captain smoking a pipe in the foreground and in the background, the sea, a dock, and a fishing boat? Hmmm.

The negative space in the painting is the space automatically creates from the sky in the background.

Just painting and etching.
The painting got its name from the arched window in the background, at the top of the house.

A relief painting is a type of artwork where the subject matter is raised or elevated from the background. An example of relief painting is Michelangelo's "David," which is a sculpture that features a three-dimensional form protruding from a flat background. This technique allows for a sense of depth and dimension to be added to the artwork.
There are quite a few that have some kind of craft in the background. There are also some ancient coins that have what looks to be alien craft.
