Fanetteing

A painting technique where a grooved trowel is used to spread medium to low viscosity paint across a flat surface leaving very defined grooves and ridges.
It is named for the artist. Though there is some controversy over whether or not she pioneered the technique, or simply copied it.

"you can see the fanetteing technique in the depth and uniformity of the ridges on that painting.
