How it's used

It carries a slightly old-fashioned or humble tone compared to modern terms for professional painters or designers. Use this when describing someone whose work is rooted in craftsmanship or traditional techniques.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for a modern professional artist or a painter who paints walls, as it specifically implies a traditional artisan role. For a house painter, use 油漆師傅 instead.
