A practical introduction to capturing the beauty of nature's textured surfaces and the intricacy of its detail, in the popular medium of watercolour. The author here concentrates on the landscape. Drawing is an essential part of recording and painting landscapes in detail, and the artist gives examples of sketches and studies in preparation, each accompanied by a full explanation. He goes on to explain how to cope with natural texture, the elements and the seasons. When working on a composition, the reader is encouraged to "zoom in" on one element of a landscape, exploring its particular structure and texture. The book includes step-by-step demonstrations and detailed instructions on specialist techniques. Michael Warr has also written" Painting Detail in Watercolour".

4.0 out of 5 stars
An eye for detail,
By James Watson (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Detail & Texture: Watercolor Basics (Watercolour Basics) (Paperback)
Michael Warr certainly has an eye for detail and his book "Detail & Texture" will please those watercolor artists who appreciate realism and near realism. His use of gouache with his watercolors will help remove any fears, or prejudices, amateur artists have held about "corrupting" the purity of the watercolor. The book takes you through several development stages of about twenty paintings to the finished product. The real beauty of this book is that the reader is not expected to copy these paintings but is encouraged to apply the techniques to his/her own subjects.
