Rivers can be enchanting or exciting, but are always absorbing. They provide a myriad of painting opportunities and challenges for the artist. Focusing on watercolour - one of the most direct of mediums - this practical book explains how to paint a river and capture its life, light, movement, colour and interest. With over 200 colour images, Rob Dudley shares his methods, techniques and ideas to make this beautiful book a must-have for all landscape and en plein-air artists. It explains each stage of a painting; inspiration and focus, sketching and information gathering, planning and painting; and advises on how to paint water so that it captures the colour, shape and tone of light and reflections. It also looks at the various moods and characters of rivers - from the early streams and cascades through to strong, busy waterways and finally to the tidal estuary, where the river meets the sea, and instructs on how to bring a painting to life by including the features of a river - the boats, wildlife, people and bridges. Finished paintings, examples and step-by-step sequences are used throughout to support the detailed instruction. Beautifully illustrated with 233 colour images.

Early visitors to Dartmoor, that great granite mass dominating the centre of Devonshire, usually complained about its climate, agreeing that 'this one thinge is to be observed that all the yere through out commonly it rayneth or it is fowle wether in that more or desert'. Around the skirts of the moor, as a discomforted 18th-century traveller found, the terrain was difficult, 'the soil exceedingly swampy and moist, and covered with bogmoss', through which his horses' legs 'penetrated knee-deep at every step'. Faring no better, the high moor was judged as 'dreary in the extreme', of 'unprepossessing aspect', and presenting nothing of interest. William Gilpin, arbiter of the picturesque, hurried away, declaring that Brentor was 'so immersed in clouds' he could not even distinguish its shape. Town dwellers despised the moorlanders, 'said to be born Clowns, their Carriage being very rustic and ungainly, and their speech so coarse, corrupt, and uncouth, as to be scarcely intelligible to strangers'. Yet, somehow and at some time, perceptions of the region and its people changed. The climate became healthy and bracing, the terrain wild and wondrous. Dartmorians' voices sounded 'liquid', like the 'rapid purling of the little streams', and the vibrant quality of their lives became the envy of outsiders. Landscape artists discovered that the 'vagrant mists' would eventually dissolve, to reveal a wilderness of haunting beauty surmounting gentle wooded valleys. Within a broad social and cultural context, writers and artists have contributed to this transformation of Dartmoor and its dwellers in various ways. The area retains its rugged natural beauty, and, surrounded by urban and coastal development, remains a focus for the outdoor movement of the 20th and 21st centuries. This book is a major addition to the literature of Dartmoor.

This is a history of the moorlands and the part they have played in English and Welsh history over ten millennia. Ian Simmons combines the perspectives of natural science, archaeology, social history and historical geography, and draws on forty years of exploring and studying the moorlands. Starting with a description of their origins and how they have changed under the impact of human and natural forces, Simmons shows how perceptions of the moors have been influenced by writers, artists and the media (and how they have been inspired by the moors), and how these perceptions have resulted in great changes in attitudes to moorland use and management. The book begins by offering some concise understanding of the physical and natural characteristics of moorlands. It then gives an account of how hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period altered their surroundings using fire. It describes how millennia of agricultural production wrought distinctive moorland landscapes and how these in turn were affected and sometimes transformed by industrialisation, afforestation and changes in farming methods. The renewed impetus in the twentieth century for environmental management and conservation brings the story near to the present. The North Pennines, Dartmoor and South Wales are the subject of detailed accounts that reveal the common characteristics of the moorlands as well as their marked contrasts. Beyond the recent crises of overgrazing and the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak, Ian Simmons lays out some possible futures for the moors.
