Unique subject matter
24 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have many books on murals, decorative painting, and trompe l'oeil. This book provides info not seen in others. It is a good companion to the Donna Dewberry One-Stroke method of decorative painting. It is perhaps a little too advanced for the brand new beginner.

They're Gorgeous !
18 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
Here are the projects shown in the book:
*a bunny triptych
*trompe l'oeil window shade
*schoolhouse notebook
*goldfinch frame
*covered bridge box
*mountain view lodge
*Tuscany hatbox
*trompe l'oeil cat
*Shaker clock
*trompe l'oeil wall shelf
The designs demonstrated in the book could be applied to many different situations, not just the projects listed. The art is exquisite and she really does tell you how to do the different brushstrokes for everything from blades of grass to chimney smoke. She tells exactly what color to use for each, and what kind of brush.
As a beginner, I just don't have the confidence to tackle these. I think I'll try stenciling first and maybe build up my comfort level. The artist has a website where you can see her portfolio and get an idea of the kind of painting this book covers.

Decorative Mini Murals You Can Paint
18 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
The title suggests you can paint mini murals from this book, no you probably can't. I purchased this book as a fun gift for a budding hobby artist friend. It really isn't worth opening the front cover, so many other books will serve you better. A big thumbs done on this one.
