You're guaranteed to find the perfect picture for your wall. . . Copy one of these designs and the rich colors and realistic look will transform your home into another world. --Beth Olsen
Product Description
Trompe L Oeil Panels and Panoramas is a treasury of stunning designs ideal for interior designers and their clients, artists seeking inspiration, or for those simply wishing to copy the images themselves, as the author invites readers to do. (A CD-ROM containing the designs is included for easy transfer and resizing of the designs.)Step-by-step sketches and carefully selected details of the finished pieces provide an effective demonstration tool, allowing artists to both refine their skills and acquire new techniques to enhance their repertoire. In compositions encompassing classical and fantasy landscape and architecture as well as flora, fauna, and the human figure, Guegan demonstrates the successful execution of elegant wood, marble, drapery, and natural and figurative motifs, for decorative panels and panoramic murals.Through the thoughtful integration of fine French methods and traditions with contemporary style and innovation, Trompe L Oeil Panels and Panoramas is an ideal instruction manual and a useful reference tool for anyone working in interior design and decoration.CD-ROM includes easy-to-use screen-resolution TIFF files of every trompe-l oeil painting.

Beautiful Picture Book
29 May 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book is absolutely gorgeous and will provide lots of inspiration.
What it won't provide is lots of words or step by step instructions. There are many close up shots of the very large murals which are helpful for discerning the details, but still not enough to be able to recreate it yourself, unless, as the book suggests, you've read his other book: Handbook of Painted Decoration.
Beautiful book, but if you're looking for instruction, this isn't the one.

good reference material
14 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover
When looking for a book on trompe l'oeil, an art which is in itself a difficult thing to master. If you are a novice, look for book reviews where they tell you that it is a step by step manual. Then you will have a foundation and a valuable starting point to begin your artistic journey. Books such as this are basically good for reference material, the artist here is showing off so to speak his works of art, which is okay but if he or she offers no help in the way of instruction all you have is a pretty picture book. An author like Roberta Gordon-Smith is a better bet for the beginner. Janet Shearer offers good advice for intermediate and above. If a person praises it up and down and is overwhelmed by the quality of the artists work, that's just it...they are simply overwhelmed. The book in and of itself may not be that helpful. So read those reviews and try to read between the lines so you won't throw away your hard earned money. Best Wishes, Rick
