Customer Reviews

the art of trompe l'oeil murals
Beautifully illustrated, if you're looking for classical inspiration and ideas this book is brilliant. Unfortunately it lacks any real hints, tips or technical advice, apart from a tiny bit at the back detailing just one plaster motif. I have given in three stars, but it really depends on what you want from the book.
