How To Make Textured Art

In AI generation, 'textured art' refers to images that visually simulate or evoke a sense of surface texture. This can range from the thick, visible brushstrokes of impasto painting to the intricate details of a relief sculpture, or even abstract patterns that suggest roughness, smoothness, or dimensionality. Our AI models can create these effects through specific prompting and model selection, giving your digital art a tangible, tactile quality.

To achieve specific textures, be descriptive in your prompts. Use keywords related to materials (e.g., 'rough canvas,' 'smooth marble,' 'burlap,' 'chiseled stone'), painting techniques (e.g., 'impasto,' 'palette knife strokes,' 'sculpted relief'), or tactile sensations (e.g., 'gritty,' 'velvety,' 'cracked earth,' 'woven'). You can also experiment with different AI models, as some are better at rendering fine details and surface variations than others.

Absolutely! You can experiment with combining different texture descriptions within a single prompt. For example, you might try prompts like 'a portrait with cracked earth texture on the skin and a smooth, polished stone background' or 'a landscape with impasto grass and a rough, bark-like sky.' The AI will interpret these combinations to create unique layered effects.

While many of our models can produce textured effects, models known for their detail and artistic rendering, such as certain versions of Stable Diffusion or specialized models, often excel at creating convincing textures. Experimenting with different models and adjusting settings like 'stylize' or exploring advanced options can significantly influence the final texture. We encourage you to try various combinations to see what yields the best results for your desired tactile effect.
