    Note

    The -ing form does two jobs. After be it carries the progressive (she is texturing the canvas). As a gerund it fills a noun slot while still taking a direct object (texturing the metal surface). That object is the test that separates it from the noun for the process, which takes adjectives instead (careful texturing) and can go plural as texturings. The silent e of texture drops before -ing.
