TEXTURES

TEXTURES 2
When we look at some paintings, we would like to touch them, in order to complete our perception of their identity. “Texture” is the tactile quality of the surface of art works. Painting textures are the result of all layers of materials, the directions of the tools used to apply the colors, the mediums, the grain of powders and sands included, but mainly on the thickness of layers.
The paper grain and the quality of canvas contribute to textures.
I like to include many different materials, in the superposed layers to obtain “speaking” textures. Those induce surprise and discovering new effects at subsequent observations, when light conditions vary.
