## Caption

If you've seen an artwork by Vincent van Gogh, you might have noticed one thing: impasto. 

Here's how you can identify it.

Look closely for thick brushstrokes of layered paint. They often stick out from the surface of the painting, giving it a tactile quality.

In honor of Vincent van Gogh's birthday, we declare it #IrisesWeek. We'll be celebrating with all things Irises.
