Found a Name for what I do

With the arrival of my Wacom and ArtRage I took a different direction on how I been doing my art.  I found its an established painting technique; called impasto.  I seem to use something close to this is my new line of work.

"In English, the borrowed Italian word impasto most commonly refers to a technique used in painting, where paint is laid on an area of the surface (or the entire canvas) very thickly, usually thickly enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible. Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture, the paint coming out of the canvas."

Here is a great AR post on ways to do this (alot I already seem to be doing).

Great tips.
