Texture
Texture in painting refers to the look and feel of the canvas. It is based on the paint, and its application, or the addition of materials such as ribbon, metal, wood, lace, leather and sand. The concept of “painterliness” also has bearing on texture. The texture stimulates two different senses: sight and touch. Actual texture is a combination of how the painting looks, and how it feels on being touched. It is associated both with the heavy buildup of paint, such as an impasto effect, or the addition of materials. Many artists around the world use different items and materials to create actual texture in their pieces, some create textured pieces to be touched and experienced, such as MD Weems. MD Weems uses homemade gesso to sculpt texture into her artwork. His textured artwork is then painted and sealed so that viewers can physically touch the artwork. The ability to touch the texture evokes multiple senses through sight and touch and allows for a deeper emotional feel. Textures Some textures include: rough, hard, liquid, solid, wet, bumpy, fuzzy, sticky, dusty, sharp, rough, gritty, soft, and lumpy.
