Texture

Texture in art refers to the surface quality of an artwork — how it looks or feels, whether rough, smooth, bumpy, or soft.

What does texture mean in art?

In traditional art, texture can be physical (the roughness of canvas) or visual (the appearance of texture through technique). In digital art, texture is always visual — created through brush effects, patterns, and layering. Kids can explore texture in the Drawing Canvas using different brush types.
