Welcome To My World Oil Painting

Most of my work is Impasto and sgraffito are tactile, texturizing techniques used to manipulate the surface of a painting. While they have historical roots, both are heavily associated with Impressionism for capturing light and movement, but are also used in Abstract Art (including Abstract Expressionism) to emphasize texture and the physical act of painting. 

 

Impasto (the application of thick, textured paint) and sgraffito (the technique of scratching through paint to reveal lower layers) are highly complementary painting techniques
