If you have a good stone wall you can simply hammer a nail into your wall and use that for hanging up sour painting. If you want/need a hook installed its still quite simple. First, get a hook, then you need to get these grey things in an appropriate size (I dont know the English word for them):

The screw of the hook should be a bit bigger than the entrance hole. Then drill a hole into the wall (the grey things should fit perfectly into the hole), stick the grey thing into it and screw the hook into the grey thing. Screwing it into this grey thing expands it guaranteeing a proper grip to the wall.

Generally called rawlplugs in the UK. Invented by John Rawlings who named his company Rawlplug. One of those tiny little inventions which is everywhere.

Me too, to be honest. I knew they were called rawlplugs but didn't know why!
