  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 .
