TEXTURE

Texture is the surfaces tactile quality

Tactile refers to the perception of touch

Crinkled, rough, smooth, wrinkled, etc.

Patterns or colors often form illusions oftexture

Floral patterns give off texture even whenprinted on silk (a smooth surface)

Striped fabrics give a sense of rigid texture

Furniture can have texture

Carvings made into wood or wood grainsshowing through a stain

Can affect color by subduing orintensifying it

Rough surfaces absorb more light and smoothsurfaces reflect light
