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.

Applying, displaying, and clearing impasto
Before applying Impasto brushstrokes, you need to set the canvas to display the impasto
depth and lighting information. The canvas stores the impasto information for the
entire image, which includes the Impasto brushstrokes that you apply to individual
layers. If the impasto information is hidden, the brushstrokes appear smooth and flat.
