Real texture is defined as when a piece feels the way it looks. If a piece of wood looks rough, and when is touched feels rough, that roughness is its real texture. The implied texture of a piece is when it looks like it should feel one way, but it feels completely different. This can also be called visual or simulated texture. If something looks smooth, but has a rough texture, smoothness is the implied texture.

Another good example of implied texture is when a painting or a drawing is meant to look like fur, but it doesn’t feel like fur at all. Laminates that look like water, grass, stone, or wood also fall into this category of implied
