Texture

Texture the characteristic visual and tactile quality of the surface of a work of art resulting from the way in which the materials are used. Texture is usually something that can feel. When it comes to 2 dimensional arts you can create the idea of texture in an image. One way that we learned to use texture in class was to use line to create the illusion of texture. Texture can also be created through repeating a pattern making it more of a visual texture. This image was taken from the internet and it is a close up of some type of reptile. Having it an extreme close up shows the texture of the animal’s skin.  The skin looks like it would be really smooth but also bumpy at the same time. I also really enjoy the color in this image it shows how the colors fade into each other.
