Definition: Texture refers to the surface quality of a 2D picture plane, as well as 3D objects.  Texture plays a key role in setting the piece of artwork apart and giving it both a physical feel and an emotional one.  Sand, tiny objects, string and scratching the surface are all means to create texture on a piece of artwork.
