	Impasto
		Impasto is a technique used in painting where paint is laid on the canvas very thickly, usually thickly enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible.
		Impasto features strongly in many oil paintings, and is also possible, though rarely used, in acrylic paintings.
		Impasto was used by Rembrandt and Titian, both of whom often juxtaposed it with more delicate painting.

	Impasto - Wikipedia
		Impasto is een schildertechniek waarbij de verf in zeer dikke streken of klodders op het kunstwerk wordt aangebracht.
		Door bijvoorbeeld impasto te gebruiken bij het naschilderen van een muur, wordt een zeer realistisch effect bereikt, omdat de onregelmatige verfstructuur kleine schaduwen werpt, die overeenkomen met de structuur van een ruwe muur in de werkelijkheid.
		Nadeel van impasto is dat het verfoppervlak vrij gauw stof opvangt en daardoor vies wordt.

	Impasto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Impasto is generally not possible in watercolour or tempera without the addition of thickening media such as Aquapasto™, due to the inherent thinness of these media.
		The first objective was originally sought by masters such as Rembrandt and Titian, to represent folds in clothes or jewels: it was then juxtaposed with more delicate painting.
		Because impasto gives texture to the painting, it can be opposed to flat, smooth, or blending techniques.

	Impasto pattern forming method - Patent 5309840
		An impasto pattern can be formed on a stretchable support, typically sportswear fabric by extruding a high viscosity liquid silicone rubber composition to the support to form a predetermined pattern of impasto extrudate on the support, and curing the extrudate to form an impasto pattern of silicone rubber representing a desired character or mark.
		The support on which an impasto pattern is formed according to the present invention is not limited in material and shape.
		After a raised or impasto extrudate of liquid silicone rubber composition is applied to the support surface, it may be cured by heating, for example, oven heating or infrared heating preferably at 60.degree.

		Impasto, a term that is used to cover a wide range of paint application techniques, deals primarily with the thickness of oil paints and the way these are applied to canvas or other painting surfaces.
		One important use of impasto is as a highlight or luminescent technique.
		But, whether a simple application of highlight, a moderate textural amplification, or a full-blown underpainting and over layers of paint, impasto is one method to generate visual interest in your paintings.

	paint_application
		Impasto is the application of thick opaque paint with pronounced brush strokes.
		Impasto is primarily used to render the parts of the painting that are in full light while the shadows are painted with thin transparent paint.
		Highlights painted with impasto seem to stand out and slightly above a uniform layer of the same color because they catch light on one side and cast a shadow on the opposite side.

	Manipulation of the Painting Surface (Impasto/Glaze): Art Studio Chalkboard
		Then it becomes necessary to build up the painting surface through either heavy use of the paint (impasto), adding material to the paint (aggregate), or by sculpting the surface before the paint is applied (modeling).
		The simplest way to create an impasto surface is to apply paint in large heavy quantities, usually with either a brush or palette knife.
		In the past all impasto techniques were done with only opaque color because traditional transparent oil mediums were very fluid.
