This is just an idea that crossed my mind:

In Spanish when referring to a dense painting i.e. a paint layer w/
good covering properties, we might say "tempera con cuerpo" or
"cubriente, espesa". In Italian as well the word "CORPOSO, CORPOSA"
might be used to define this property in paintings.

I do not know if this would be of any help, but it might make sense
it that context.
