What is are Textures?

Texture is the way something feels to the touch, or looks to the eye. Words like rough, silky, shiny and dull help writers describe the texture of an object. An artist shows texture to accomplish the same goal. There are two types of texture: tactile and visual.

there are two types of texture in art implied texture and actual texture implied texture is how something looks like it feels actual texture is how something actually feels So texture is the way something feels or looks like it feels.  

Hope this helps
