Tactile Texture (17)

Tactile Texture
-the use of actual materials to create a surface that can actually be felt or touched



This image looks like it was given tactile texture by using a painting technique called Impasto. Impasto is a "painting technique in which pigments are applied in thick layers or strokes to create a rough three-dimensional paint surface on the two-dimensional surface."

Other examples of Tactile Texture would be certain sculptures and other types of art created by using actual materials (bark, wood, cans, etc.)
