Impasto Painting

 Kia Ora readers

Welcome back or welcome to my blog. For this class, our teacher and his class have started a new unite which is called impasto painting. What is impasto painting? Impasto painting is a technique of painting using thick paint, a stiff brush, and a pattle knife. You can see the brush strokes in the painting, the paint that you use has to be thickly textured paint. The impasto technique is very expressive. The painting below was painted by the one and only Van Gogh, Van Gogh is the pioneer of the impasto technique.
