Enameled is a term that is sometimes used in art to describe a very smoothly painted surface. It is a surface texture without ridges or areas of deliberately roughened paint. The term comes from vitreous enamel which is applied to objects with brushes and fired in a kiln, or enamel paint which dries to a hard, glossy finish. Enameled surfaces are most often associated with techniques like
glazing and
scumbling.
Impasto could be considered the opposite of enameled.
