What is Impasto SREF style
The Impasto aesthetic is characterized by extremely thick, textured application of paint, where brushstrokes are highly visible and layered, giving subjects a tactile, three-dimensional quality. This technique captures light dynamically, enhancing the richness of colors in portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. When using this as a **style** guide in **Midjourney**, carefully crafted **prompt** elements emphasizing texture and paint thickness are crucial to achieve this rich, oil-on-canvas effect, resulting in images that feel tangible and heavily worked by hand.
