There's a painting of Hobbiton that has been sat in my living room for two years because I dare not hang it up for fear of doing it wrong. Last time I tried to hang anything up (a clock in that case) the plaster just came off the wall around it and I had to pay to get it fixed. That was with just a hammer and a hook! I'm not getting a drill!

just a hammer plaster just came off

On the positive side, you now know what a hammer does.

If you still want to hang your painting, you should learn what a drill does. Start with a small drill.

most picture hooks would be tacked in with a hammer

Unless it's a large or heavy frame or canvas, in which case you'll want at least two hooks to distribute weight more evenly.
