What Are Sight And Touch Textures in Abstract Paintings?

"Texture in painting refers to the look and feel of the canvas. It is based on the paint, and its application, or the addition of materials such as ribbon, metal, wood, lace, leather and sand. The concept of "painterliness" also has bearing on texture. The texture stimulates two different senses: sight and touch." --Wikipedia

Texture gives people a variety of feelings and can enhance the role of the image and appeal. People's perception of texture is generally based on touch, but due to people's long-term experience of tactile objects, they will feel the difference in texture visually without touching them. We call it sight texture. Sight texture is a texture felt by the eyes, such as stripes, patterns, and bumps displayed on the screen, but they are two-dimensional plane textures. Touch texture is generally obtained by pressing, die-cutting, engraving and other processing methods. It is a three-dimensional texture, which can be felt by hand.
