Yes, the word "painting" can function as a gerund when it acts as a noun in a sentence, such as in "Painting is my favorite hobby." In this context, it derives from the verb "paint" but describes the activity itself rather than an action. However, "painting" can also be a present participle when used as an adjective, for example, in "the painting process."
All the world's a painting, where men and women are the paint; in Gods masterpiece.
Participle phrases always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence.So in the sentence "Swirling the colors together, the artist created a beautiful painting."Swirling the colors together would be the participle phrase.

Past form - Was he/she pretty? We/you/they (be) are pretty. Are (be) we/they/you pretty? Past form - Were we/you/they pretty? One (singular) painting is an "it" so the past interrogative would be "Is the painting pretty?". More than one is plural (paintings), so the past interrogative would be "Were the paintings pretty?".

A gerund can be used as a predicate noun when it functions as the subject complement following a linking verb. For example, in the sentence "His favorite hobby is painting," "painting" is a gerund functioning as the predicate noun.
The word 'painting' is a noun in this sentence as only nouns or nominal groups can be preceded by determiners ("your painting") such as articles and possessives adjectives. For instance, 'the' in "The blind can hear and smell" or in "You can talk and read to the blind" has the power to transform "blind", originally an adjective, into a substantive and thus endows it with some of the characteristics that are attached to nouns. 'Your' in "your painting" plays the same role. Compare 'your painting' with 'your colours' in "When the weather turned cold, your colors went slowly."
