Have you ever seen a painting that your mind perceived to look so real that it felt like you could touch it, or that you were there? How did the artist create that illusion? I mean, it is only 2D, but somehow your mind interpreted it as 3D. Why? How? Could it be a line, a shadow, a highlight, or a reflection?
There are endless ways an artist can achieve the illusion of texture and dimension… colour(tint/tone/shade/hue/variety), shadow, shine, batting, wool, thread, fabric, pile, knots, beads, ink, paint, rouching, trapunto, lace inserts, pleating and more.
It is common to create what is familiar…thanks to TFAM we have a wealth of knowledge to learn and share from one another. We want to challenge you to include in your art piece, a technique that you have never tried before…we are very much looking forward to being impressed by your interpretation of TEXTURAL DIMENSION!
