Product Description

Sky takes up much of the space in wall and ceiling murals and paintings in interiors and on canvas and paper, and the atmosphere it creates can be intensified by the representation of water. In this idea-filled colourful guide, Ursula E. and Martin Benad provide a hands-on and easy-to-follow introduction to the art of painting clouds, waves and seascapes. With a profusion of examples, patterns, suggestions and professional tips, they address the essentials of working in large or small formats, on walls and ceilings. With its step-by-step instructions, examples and suggestions for design, this is an ideal self-teaching manual for decorative painters and artists.

Trompe l'oeil sky and sea
I love this book, it gives advice on perspective and styles, it shows how to build a picture for true to life effects; it gives a colour pallette guide and good clear pictoral and text information on how to achieve all the sky and sea scapes illustrated from glorious sunsets, moody nights and sunny days with all its varying cloud formations. Easy to read and follow, I would recommend this to almost anyone; with this one book you can build your technique from beginner to advanced.
