Impasto painting

Impasto painting

 

Impasto painting is a technique in which artists apply thick layers of paint to a canvas or surface, creating a textured and three-dimensional effect. The paint is often applied with a palette knife or brush, resulting in visible brushstrokes and a sense of physical depth. The impasto technique allows artists to experiment with texture, light, and shadow, as well as to convey emotions and energy through the physicality of the paint. By layering and manipulating the paint, artists can achieve a sculptural quality to their work. Impasto painting is known for its tactile quality and is often associated with expressive and bold styles of art.
