Impasto is a technique used in art whereby paint is layered on, thick and textural, with enough mass that you can use your brush or knife to sculpt shapes. The word comes from the Italian for ‘dough’ or ‘mixture’, referring to the way artisans would ‘knead’ or ‘paste’ their materials to make the paint come alive. To use their tools to create something that defies the two-dimensional form and give the impression of something deeper. Perhaps, even, more profound.
