2. Surface and texture II |
|||
| Think about the difference between an imitative surface which represents something in great detail, as accurately as it can, and one that gives an 'impression' of a surface though textural and tonal manipulation. Which do you find more naturalistic and why? (If you find this hard to think about in sculpture, think of the difference between a very detailed drawing, like a botanical drawing perhaps, and a quick sketch.) | |||
