Impasto is a technique used in painting, where paint is laid on an area of the surface thickly, [1] usually thick 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 appears to be coming out of the canvas.
A fractal flame created by the Electric Sheep computing project. Fractal flame created in Apophysis. Fractal flames are a member of the iterated function system class [1] of fractals created by Scott Draves in 1992. [2] Draves' open-source code was later ported into Adobe After Effects graphics software [3] and translated into the Apophysis ...
The word encaustic originates from Ancient Greek: ἐγκαυστικός, which means "burning in", from ἐν en, "in" and καίειν kaiein, "to burn", [3] and this element of heat is necessary for a painting to be called encaustic.

The torch resembles two overlapping, fluttering ribbons. The red represents the flame and the white represents ice. It is the same color pallet from the 2008 torch, but with different representations. When a torchbearer passes the flame to another, it is locked to represent mutual understanding and respect between different cultures. A special ...
Gouache paint is similar to watercolor, but it is modified to make it opaque. Just as in watercolor, the binding agent has traditionally been gum arabic but since the late nineteenth century cheaper varieties use yellow dextrin. When the paint is sold as a paste, e.g. in tubes, the dextrin has usually been mixed with an equal volume of water. [1]
