Abstract: In the age of new media, people have many ways to appreciate art works. We get increasingly used to watching and appreciating them with print and electronic media, and even with our cell phone screens. But whether this way of watching can completely replace the way to see the original? Through the analysis and research of the original painting brush strokes and texture, this article explores the haptic visuality and the observer's psychic experiences with the author, so as to find out the essential difference between watching the original works and watching with the print and electronic media. Finally, this article intends to justify and emphasize the singularity of the original and the significance of watching original art works.

Key words: brush strokes, texture, original painting, haptic visuality, psychic experiences with the author
