Impasto is a painting technique (typically in oil painting) where the artist uses thick layers of paint (think of the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh) to create the image within and/or define the surface of the picture. The word impasto is a variation on an Italian word that means "to cover in paste"

"Impasto" is a term which refers to the heavy application of paint to an artwork. It is a heavy, textured layer in which brush marks are usually visible in the finished product. Artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Rembrant van Rijn often used this technique.
