Light painting results when a handheld light source—usually a flashlight— is used in a dark room or outdoors at night to illuminate a subject.

When you make a light painting, your camera is on a tripod with its shutter open for a timed exposure while you illuminate parts of the subject with the light.

Here is a tutorial on Learning About Your Camera with Light Painting Photography.
