Num texto sobre um pintor: "O uso do empastamento para realçar o volume acentua-se neste período posterior."
O dic. Houaiss define como "espessa camada de tintas que se usa esp. nas zonas luminosas de pinturas a óleo, para dar-lhes volume e acentuar-lhes o brilho". Não consegui encontrar correspondente em inglês.
Muito obrigado.
