The third project in the art series is Impasto painting by Vincent Van Gogh. Impasto painting is applying thick layers of paint, so thick that the brush or palette-knife strokes are visible in the paint. When dry, the paint leaves a rough texture to the painting. Van Gogh is famous for using Impasto painting and bright colors. Van Gogh himself was not famous in his day, although he is one of the most famous artists today. He tried many different jobs before turning to painting. He only painted in the last ten years of his life and in that time he painted over 800 paintings.
