Moving through letters, I've arrived at "P” for 'Paint'? (7)
I believe the answer is:
impasto
''paint'?' is the definition.
(impasto is a type of paint)
'moving through letters i've arrived at p for' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'p' is present in the answer.
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impasto that I've seen before include "application of paint in this way" , "artistic technique" , "Technique of paint applied thickly" , "Good covering of paint" , "Technique possibly Van Gogh's" .)
