17) Tactile Texture (properly describe how image is NOT tactile)


This image by Van Gogh has a texture that cannot be felt. It is not a Tactile Texture, which is a texture of a painting that can be felt as well as seen. Usually it is like a 3-D texture with rigid lines created by using a thick pigment, a technique called impasto. The sky looks rigid and the foreground does as well. Due to these characteristics of this painting, there are no textures but this piece is Tactile.
