Placerville Impasto Album

Impasto is a popular painting technique usually employed with oil and acrylic paint. Artists use thick brushstrokes to imitate texture or create three-dimensional, almost sculptural effects in their works. Impasto became widely used during the European Renaissance by masters like Rubens and Vermeer. It became extremely popular in the modern era among Expressionist artists with their radical brushwork.
