My Deep Impasto® Technique

The word 'impasto' is Italian in origin; meaning 'dough' or 'mixture'. It is well known in the art world as a technique where paint is applied in very thick layers, and the brush, or painting knife strokes are visible. When dried, the textured paint has a sculptured, 3D appearance, and is highly tactile.
My technique takes on an even deeper texture, with paint rolling over the edges of the canvas. In some places it is over a half an inch thick. This creates amazing ridges, dips, and shadows, and a beautiful sense of movement that reflects the light more than a regular brush painting. It is also tremendous amounts of fun manipulating large, buttery quantities of oil paint. Think cake decorating, or frosting! In fact, some of the knives I use are culinary grade baking knives! Stay tuned for future demos and videos, or fill out the form below to register interest in my future workshops!
