Visual texture refers to the appearance or illusion of texture in a two-dimensional artwork. Unlike actual texture that we can physically feel, visual texture is created through various artistic techniques such as brushstrokes, patterns, and visual elements that can simulate the texture of real surfaces or objects. It is the perception of texture through the sense of vision rather than touch. The aim is to evoke a tactile quality and create depth and interest in the artwork. The term can also refer to a book created by an artist but is not the primary definition of visual texture.
