Drawing

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".

Learn how to manipulate any medium from pencil, pen or charcoal, to watercolour, gouache, oils or acrylics to produce your desired textures and patterns.

Capturing Texture in Your Drawing and Painting

North Light Books

Tracking a nonlinear trek across terrain as distinct as Timbuktu and Baton Rouge, and beliefs as “contrary” as Christianity and Communism, in The Armageddon of Funk Michael Warr manages to interconnect a world of opposites. Via “poetic memoir” we join his navigation through the “apolitical,” rigid morality of the Jehovah’s Witnesses; the revolutionary theories and free love of Black Panthers and Marxists; the promise of a bourgeois future from bank executives; a screaming soldier brandishing an AK-47 in his face, a blizzard of white termite wings; an interrogation under Haile Selassie’s Jubilee Palace; hallucinating of “of cornbread islands” at Chicago’s “Velvet Lounge,” and many “Street Signs, Convolutions, and other California Coincidences” as one poem is titled in this second collection. Warr’s poetry, like his life, is full of interruptions and circularity that captures the broad sweep of the times and microscopic idiosyncrasies of the moment.
