Batik Project and Examples of Texture

simulated texture

This is a batik that looks cracked and swirled but in actuality it is a smooth surface.

invented texture

Van Gogh's adaptation of wind, moon, and star light is portrayed in this famous oil painting. There is no actual texture to these things but through imagination and creativity Van Gogh uses an implied texture to capture them.

actual texture

This is a Chuck Connolly painting. Chuck is known for using tons of paint on his canvas. Layers of paint and the way his brush moves through those thick layers of paint create a physical texture you can touch .

my batik:

It was a wild and humbling journey. When i started working on it at home i think i may have heated the wax too much, causing it to not work the way it did in class. Some of the die colors were not protected by the wax, causing excessive and involuntary bleeding. If my project were an Olympic figure skating routine and i were a judge, i would give my project an 10 for effort, 10 for degree of difficulty and a 6.8 for execution.
