Sinopsis

Without texture, paintings look dull and lifeless, but creating texture takes knowledge and practice to perfect. It can be applied two ways; physical texture, which comes from layering paint or adding sand, gels or plaster; and implied texture, which utilizes the skillful application of color to fool the eye. In this illustrated guide, both methods are taught, with separate chapters addressing landscapes, seascapes, still life and portrait paintings. Two hundred color photographs show textures being applied through knives, brushes, plastic wrap, sponges, and other objects--even a toothbrush--accompanied by detailed reasoning behind the technical instructions for each action.

Reseña del editor

Texture is one of the most important tools for the practising artist. It is relevant to all our senses and never fails to invoke an emotional response. Flashy and gratuitous use of texture will make a work appear coarse and unskilled; lack of texture will make a work look flat and lifeless. In this book, Tony Paul shows you how to use texture sensitively and achieve the perfect balance in all your paintings. Creating texture need no longer be a daunting prospect for the artist. Following on from his books "How to Mix and Use Colour" and "How to Create Light in your Paintings", Tony Paul presents this structured course on the understanding and practice of textural control. The book is divided into eight chapters, each covering different areas of painting including landscapes, seascapes, still life and portraits. Paintings by Tony and other artists are used to bring the information and the teaching to life, functioning as examples of the points being made.
