Texture

Enter by Robert Ryman.  This painting was painted on oil and neutral ground on archival board.  The painting measures Height 10.2 in.; Width 10.2 in. / Height 26 cm.; Width 26 cm.  I selected this image due to white brush strokes.  The painting gives the look of texture by the way the brush strokes are not neat and even.  The painting may have an actual texture feeling to the touch also.  Mr Ryman is famous for his use of white paintings to show texture.  The medium he uses combined with his intentional brush strokes create a textured image. The image almost looks as though a white substance were glued to the canvas.
