17. Tactile Texture (properly describe how your image is NOT tactile)

Sunflower Pencils

Tactile texture is used in architecture and sculpture when actual material that can be felt is used in its production. This idea came into painting when the artists use thick pigment to create a rough and three-dimensional paint surface. Tactile texture can only be shown correctly when the viewer is in the presence of the original sculpture or painting that can be touched, but this sunflower structure put together by colored pencils does a good job of helping the viewer imagine how pointy and sharp it would be to touch.
