Impasto

Impasto is a painting technique that involves using a brush or palette knife to apply thick paint on a canvas and retain visible brush or knife marks. This painting method is used to add texture, dimension, and movement to a painting. In Corel Painter, the Impasto brushes allow you to simulate the appearance and texture of traditional impasto. You can also control the impasto effect by manipulating the surface lighting to increase or decrease the perceived depth of the brushstrokes.
