A practical exploration of watercolor texture

Ana Victoria Calderón’s guide organizes watercolor practice around the marks and patterns that give a painting texture. It moves from swatching and simple shapes to effects made with circles, dots, brushstrokes, lines, and spatter, with inspiration drawn from textures in the surrounding world. The book also covers combining techniques in landscape and skyscape compositions, and includes an overview of supplies and templates for recreating images with less drawing. Its emphasis is on experimentation with accessible materials and small techniques that can be explored individually or brought together in finished scenes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Watercolor artists seeking exercises focused on texture and mark-making.
  • Beginners and experienced painters interested in guided experimentation.
  • Artists who value templates and a supplies overview alongside technique instruction.
