Texture

Today, we will have a discussion on some terms on using texture in your art. These examples should help aid you in the process of understanding how each term fits into your style of art and you may even be inclined to use these examples as practice methods.



 
Verisimilitude

Above is a photo of Verisimilitude, or something seems "very-similar" to something. In this case it is astro turf (on the right) is similar to real grass (on the left). Best representation if you are having a difficult time understanding it.

Tree Bark. Photo. Mat Lasky


This image demonstrates tactile texture because it is tree bark which is able to be felt. Keep in mind that tactile means feeling so it has to be felt.

This photo represents visual texture. The ability to capture texture on a two dimensional surface that you cannot feel, however, the viewer is familiar to the texture without the need to feel it.
