Impasto

Who knew that the acrylic paintbrushes in Painter were 3D? I certainly didn't. After more than 13 years of using this program, I'm still learning new stuff. This drawing was getting uglier and uglier by the minute, which allowed me to just experiment because I didn't care about the outcome - it had nowhere to go but up! While it's not a great piece, I did like learning about the painterly effects. The face couldn't be saved, so I turned her into some 30s/70s style
