Experiments with Impasto

[flyashy]

Hi ArtRagers,
'Tis been a very long time since I surfaced here, so a big HI to all my old friends & a cheery wave to all new people on the forum.

Well, as the title says I've been experimenting with paint thickness, trying to get that 'Oil' feeling going, so here's a couple of paintings.
The elephant is from a reference image I found. I've tried to get that thick thick oil paint with tube & a loaded knife..
The 'Wave' abstract, has a again a lot of thickness and layers. Again, tube, loaded knife, glitter & warp.
I'd love to hear your opinions regarding the technique.
C&C most welcome.

Cheers y'all,
fly
