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."
