Tactile and Visual Texture

 

Different textures found into de nature, such as, wool, sand, crocodile skin, wood, and even butterfly’s wings, are very stimulating for the human eye. Within in the texture collage I have created, I am expressing dynamism, so I can keep the viewer’s eye around every shape driven toward the focal point. The visual texture, the repetition of some objects and shapes and the variations of the biomorphic shapes, lines, and dots within the collage, create an illusion of textures.

The directional dominance in the collage has been established by the way the textures were placed, more exactly, the focal point your eye choose to be. At the same time, the focal point helps to create confusion in the directions of the lines, but creates a strong implied line.

Multiple shapes and forms can be appreciated in every texture. Textures such as the thickness and the finesse of the sand, as well as, the roughness of the wood and the crocodile skin are able to create the collage image in the drawing. The combination of these various surfaces together makes the strong and the heavy feeling for the eye and at the same time, it helps with the visual flow of the picture.
