Wrinkling
The appearance of uneven (small) folds, ridges or furrows resulting in an undulating layer in the paint layer, usually in pastose paint.COMMENT: COMMENT: The causation can be due to multiple factors, such as impact causing fresh paint to move and compress into a smaller area, or when the upper paint film or surface dries faster than the lower layers (or deeper part of an impasto) causing the shrinkage of the upper layer.
