The art of trompe l'oeil has been around for ages, enhancing the finest homes, churches and public buildings. Now you can bring it into your home.
Step-by-Step Trompe L’Oeil teaches you all the skills you’ll need, provides a brief history of the art of trompe l'oeil, then takes you every step of the way through the creation of eight realistic paintings that focus on detail and perspective to trick the eye into thinking that what it's seeing is reality. Start small, and decorate a tray with a clever painting of breakfast goodies that look good enough to eat, then, turn a blank wall into an open door with a pretty view, make a wall niche with a fruit bowl inside magically appear and much more. You won't believe your eyes!
