  • “Thick impasto brushstrokes”: This is the magic phrase to get 3D, chunky paint rather than a flat digital painting.
  • “Palette knife”: Add this if you want broader, flatter, and more architectural strokes of paint.
  • “Vibrant/expressive colors”: Oil paintings in this style often use heightened, non-literal colors.
  • Pairs well with: Double Exposure (for surreal oil art)
