Synopsis:

It translates from the French as ?trick the eye,” and once you’ve seen trompe l’oeil, it’s clear why: This comprehensive introduction covers the history of the style, and provides basic exercises to help artists develop the essential skills needed to complete eight beautiful projects. With step-by-step color photographs to guide them, painters will see how to use shadow and contrast to depict everything from a graceful archway to a secret alcove to a charming cat that looks real enough to purr!

About the Author: Leonor Rieti is an expert in trompe l'oeil and works with her father, Fabio Rieti, a famous painter who specialises in wall murals. Leonor has her own workshop where she teaches the art of trompe l'oeil and decorative painting.
