Texture is one of the elements and principles of art that relates to how something would
feel if it were touched. There are several kinds of texture–from actual texture in art where
the artwork has a certain physical tactile surface, or it could be visual texture or implied
texture where the artwork looks as if it feels a certain way (but actually doesn’t).
