FACTUAL DESCRIPTIVE WRITING
Most important is to study your subject closely. Descriptive writing calls for close attention to details. Whether your subject is as small as an ant or or as large as a football stadium, you should begin by observing your subject closely and deciding which details are most significant.

Descriptive writing is artistic with embellishments,factual writing provides exact information.
