Painting for example is one article made by a craftsman (7)
I believe the answer is:
artisan
'a craftsman' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'painting for example is one article made by' is the wordplay.
'painting for example' becomes 'art' (painting is a kind of art).
'one article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'made by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (letters written or made by another set of letters).
'art'+'is'+'an'='ARTISAN'
(Other definitions for artisan that I've seen before include "Sinatra (anag) -- skilled manual worker" , "Skilled workman" , "Train as (anag) - craftsman" , "one in command of craft?" , "Egypt peninsula; holy Mount" .)
