Oil paints are the traditional
impasto tool, you can mix
crushed oil pastel with them
to create a more textured feel Whichever medium you
choose, you will need brushes,
a palette knife and a durable
surface such as a canvas
Acrylic paints will work for
impasto but only if mixed
with a gel medium to
thicken them, otherwise
the texture won’t hold
Gouache is like thick
watercolours and can be
used too, but is a bit pricey
for the amount you get
