"Impasto" painting technique.



This is the technique I use for creating raised impasto in paintings. Although it is not true impasto, I am attempting to commensurate drawing and painting using thick paint applied from small squeeze bottles. The acrylic design is applied and allowed to dry. Then, layers of oil paint are applied over. The underpainting is darker so that it will show up when I scratch back into the oil paint using a stylus or palette knife (sgraffito).

By the way...I really do listen to my music that loud when I paint
