and engage the viewer longer.
However, those two tools are so personal and intuitive,

We applied thin paint in the shadow areas,
thick paint in the light areas,
then broke out the palette knives!

NOTE:
Textured paintings are difficult to photograph,
so forgive the glare.
There was a lot of discovery happening!
