Hello RHB!

Getting a Feel for Art

Art has a remarkable way of making us feel things - different colors can inspire feelings of calm or trust, images can make us feel nostalgic or empowered, a composition can make us feel a sense of movement or even claustrophobia.

A good drawing may also be capable of hijacking our sense of touch. If you’ve got a strong understanding of texture and the right techniques, you can trick the eye into thinking it sees anything from the soft ridges on a pair of corduroy pants to the cool, bumpy surface of an egg.

Need to add some texture to your work-in-progress? Try one of these lessons for the tips you need to get started.
