Describe how impasto brushstrokes appear
ChatGPT-Generated Response
Impasto is a technique in painting where the paint is applied thickly to the canvas, creating a raised and textured surface. Impasto brushstrokes are characterized by their thickness, as the paint is laid on the canvas in a manner that allows the brush or palette knife marks to be visible. These brushstrokes are usually created by using a lot of paint on the brush or palette knife and applying it with pressure to the canvas.
Impasto brushstrokes have a three-dimensional quality, as the raised paint creates a sense of depth and texture. The thickness of the paint can also create a luminous effect, as the light reflects off of the surface of the paint, adding to the visual interest of the work.
Impasto brushstrokes are often used to create bold, expressive images, and they can add a sense of movement and energy to a painting. Artists who use impasto often have a strong sense of their own personal style, and they are not afraid to apply paint in a highly individualistic manner. Impasto is often used in conjunction with other techniques, such as blending or glazing, to create rich and complex paintings with a variety of textures and effects.

Instead, this artist paints in a classic manner, wherein the brushstrokes are not visible at all and the surface is nearly smooth; that is to say, absolutely no impasto. It appears that the sequence of the requests impacted the supplied answer here.
