Creating texture is an important part of painting. Whether it’s the rough bark of a tree, the soft petals of a flower, the rippling surface of water or the splash and movement of the ocean is an important part of painting

Things to consider

• Dry brush for rough surfaces, soft brush for smooth surfaces
• Layering to create depth and richness.
• The shape of the brush ie., round for more organic shapes, flat for geometric shape or rough , long and thin for long lines
• Softness or hardness of the brush
