TEXTURES

TEXTURES

• Visual texture is a visual quality of a surface. It is the result from painting or drawing as the real texture. Visual texture is an illusion of texture created by an artist. Paint can be manipulated to give the impression of texture, while the paper surface remains smooth and flat.

• Tactile texture is the tactile quality of a surface, such as rough, smooth, sticky, fuzzy, soft or slick. A real texture is one you can actually feel with your hand, such as a piece of sandpaper, a wet glass, or animal fur. It also can be created by an artist by doing a collage.

HOW TO APPLY TEXTURES IN A FLOOR PLAN?

1. Trace in a DIN A3 white cardboard the floor plan. Use a window and tape to trace the lines.

2. Apply different visual textures on the cardboard. Decide if the floor is made of tiles, wood, carpet ...

You can copy textures using watercolours, markers, crayons, coloured pencils... or you can photocopy the textures I show you below (printable textures) and use them in your floor plan.
