What Is Texture?

Designed for young artists, What Is Texture? introduces how surfaces can look and feel different and how creators use texture to add interest and realism. Clear, age-appropriate examples from familiar artworks make the idea easy to grasp.

Readers explore categories like smooth, rough, bumpy and shiny, and learn how contrast, pattern and shading change a picture’s mood. The book also outlines simple ways artists create the illusion of texture on a flat page.

Includes:

• Short, visual explanations of texture types
• Basic techniques for suggesting texture
• Quick prompts to try with common materials
