Tuesday Textures – April 26, 2022

…..more textures found in nature in Tours

Fuzzy and soft
Hard and flaky
Spiky….a deterrent to keep the public off the chairs in the Musée des Beaux Arts in Tours
A contrast of textures…soft and tender to hard and gnarly

Tuesday Textures in Art

…I love texture in art

I am very much drawn to colour when it comes to art but I also love the use of actual textures. It is very hard not to touch art that uses textural materials. At WAAC there is a show on right now, called Collage and there are several pieces with loads of texture. I’m a big fan of Deniz Seker, Janet Potter, Margaret Rodgers and now Catharina Goldnau.

Tuesday Textures from the AGO

….I love texture in art pieces

There are two main types of texture in art: physical or actual texture that you can feel or the illusion of texture, created by lines and marks made on the canvas. The photos that I took at the AGO last week have actual textures that you can but probably shouldn’t touch.
