| Texture is both the tactile and visible surface quality of the
materials in a floral design, including flowers, foliages, accessories and the container.
Texture can be described as smooth or rough, coarse or fine, bright or dull,
glossy, matte, shiny, waxy, fuzzy, prickly, grainy, leathery, or velvety. Texture
adds both interest and contrast to floral design. Texture is engaging, making the
viewer want to reach out and touch it. All flowers and foliages posses texture.
The mixture of flowers with similar textures creates harmony and unity, while the
mixture of flowers with dissimilar textures increases depth and visual interest. |
