Oil Paint

What paiting technique builds up oil paint to create more 3d effect?
I have a 40 year old oil painting where the artist adds gobs of extra paint to various items within a still life painting to create a more three dimensional effect. The items in my painting is some pieces of fruit in the foreground. The paint is probably 1/4 inch thick in these places. What is this method called? The method probably uses a palette knife.
I would like to know what this technique is called. Surely it must have a name.
THANKS
