He would sometimes also use actual texture to reflect light to achieve a dappled effect in his landscape paintings, rather than painting in highlights. Vincent van Gogh is one well-known painter who used impasto to create actual texture in his paintings for expressive effect, in his Sunflower paintings, for example. Artists have used impasto for centuries to impart texture and expressiveness to their paintings in ways that can’t be achieved by realistic painting alone. The building up of pigment such as oil or acrylic paint on the surface of a canvas or board, so that it creates actual texture, is called impasto. All art has actual texture, whether it is the cool, smooth surface of a polished stone sculpture or the rough surface of a canvas laden with pigment. You can feel actual texture with your fingers - an item is soft, rough, gritty, warm, cold, oily, and so forth. The most obvious one is Actual Texture, which is tactile. Happily, it’s usually not necessary to actually touch the art in order to examine it with respect to texture, because texture is both a concrete and abstract concept. Most of the time it is impressed upon us that we DO NOT TOUCH THE ARTWORK, unless specifically invited to do so. Interestingly, that definition provides both the touching or tactile sense of the word as well as its visual counterpart, which is critical when discussing texture in art. We all know what texture is - it’s the “quality of a surface or substance when felt or looked at” (to give the Oxford definition).
Learn a few terms of that vocabulary and you have tools to begin accessing the wonderful, intriguing world of art. Well, as long as you know what you like you don’t have to be an expert to appreciate art - but you also have to recognize that art, like any specialized field, has a particular language and vocabulary that it uses to describe and explain itself. Perhaps it’s a fear that they won’t know what is “good” or “bad” (a loaded distinction, to be sure), or that they’ll just feel bewildered by all the different styles, subjects, techniques, etc. This garden bench is made of three different materials, each with its own texture: a highly polished vertical granite anchor, the horizontal slab of cedar, and a roughly textured unfinished green rock called basalt.Something I hear fairly often when talking to people about art is that they don’t tend to go into galleries because they feel that they don’t know enough about art to appreciate it properly. The top and bottom of the drum are smooth. The lizard perched on the side of this drum has a coarse, scaly texture. In this granite sculpture, the large part of the bottom of the nearest column and at the top of the column in the background is rough and rocky, while the narrow parts of the two columns are smooth and polished. The surface of this clay jar consists of rows of pointy bumps. Wittenberg, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Art Center Acquisition Fund The actual surface of this sculpture is hard, cold, and smooth. You can see how the artist applies color with short, choppy brushstrokes to create the rough texture. The actual texture of this oil painting is quite rough and bumpy. Works of art have a variety of actual textures created by the artist's choice of materials and how they are handled. You'll also see how differences in texture can be used to create the illusion of space. In this section you'll examine the actual texture of works of art, and discover how artists create the illusion of texture with paint, wood, stone and clay. Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the list is endless.
