What kind of art would you like to see? (self.Blind)
submitted by PourArtist
I am creating a series of paintings for touch and feel for the blind and visually impaired. What kind of art would you like to see?
Also, do your fingers get tired from a lot of feeling and touching?
Thank you,

I like the idea abstract paintings with different textures.
In high school, I had access to different kinds of paint and did some art with glitter paint, which felt like it had little pieces of something in it, smooth paint, paint that only colored the canvas rather than sitting on top, and I could build up layers to make it more 3D.

Thank you for answering!
Are you blind or visually impaired?
What do you mean by "paint that only colored the canvas rather than sitting on top"?

I was sighted for most of my life, but now I'm severely visually impaired, so I usually just say blind.
The paint was something akin to hyperpigmented watercolors, they just stained the canvas without altering the texture how acrylic and latex or whatever other kinds do. I'm not big into doing paintings, in case you can't tell lol.

I enjoy very vibrant, contrasting colors, but can only view smaller sections (1-2 inches) at once. I have Van Gogh, Egon Schiele and Klimt prints and enjoy looking at them, but would really love to have highly textured oil paints like Van Gogh’s thick impasto.
