I believe the answer is:

art

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

'painting' is the definition.
(painting is an art)

'partner's' is the wordplay.
'ART' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?
