Texture is defined as
the look and feel of any
surface. It is the surface
quality of an object, be
it smooth, rough, soft, or hard, and essentially a visual effect that
adds richness and dimension to any visual composition. It can be
seen and experienced by human touch or interpreted tactilely
“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
William ShakeSpeare (1564–1616), English, Author, Playwright, Poet
