Paintings that have a texture possess a double language, combining what is created by color with the play of light and shadow projected by the surface in relief. It is as if color had acquired more body, and there is the sense that it has been transformed into matter and is bursting out of the limits of the flat surface of the picture, in contradiction to the laws of painting. But to evoke and simulate relief in painting one simply needs to have a thorough knowledge of the characteristics of the materials, the media, the subject and the resources we have at hand to include in the painting. All this know-how has been brought together in this manual, which will undoubtedly become an invaluable reference work for lovers of textures.
