Understanding Texture in Visual Arts: Actual vs. Visual Texture

Texture in the visual arts refers to the surface quality of materials that can be experienced through touch or visual illusion. Actual texture is the tangible surface texture that can be physically felt, while visual texture is a convincing representation of an object’s texture created by the artist. Techniques like contour and value drawing, as practiced by artists like Alexa Brooks, showcase the nuanced portrayal of texture on paper. This exploration helps artists convey depth and realism in their work by differentiating between real and simulated surfaces.
