painter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'enough rope' is the first definition.
'painter' can be an answer for 'rope' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'enough' bit.

'the artist?' is the second definition.
(painter is a kind of artist)

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for painter that I've seen before include "One who draws" , "Eg, Rembrandt" , "Shipping line" , "that may tie up a cat, perhaps?" , "Cougar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
