Product Description
Introduces the techniques that painters must master before sky and sea can be rendered with authority. Sky takes up much of the space in wall and ceiling murals and paintings in interiors and on canvas or paper, and the atmosphere it creates can be intensified by the representation of water. Step-by-step instructions, examples, and suggestions for design make this an ideal self-teaching manual for decorative painters and artists. Color illustrations throughout.

Excellent book! October 22, 2007

For the lover of sky and sea, this is an excellent book! It inspires the creative mind to create beautiful murals. Her explanation/instructions of cloud shapes will improve the quality of your mural work instantly. She explains the use of color with step by step photos. Also I like the perspective on beach scenes...such as, 'this is a view of a palm tree from below', thus helping you to paint murals on walls or ceilings creating a realistic effect. If you are interested in painting ceiling murals with clouds, this is definitely the book to buy. I would say it leans towards the intermediate plus student but a beginner would enjoy it also...urging him to become better!

This is an excellent book for learning techniques for painting both sky and sea. Insightful for the beginner with tips about what qualities and subject matter make a Trompe L'Oeil painting both believable and timeless.

If you are a mural painter, you will gain a lot of knowledge from this book. It has many step by step instructions along with photos of completed work. I particularly liked the instructions on painting water.
 interesting book June 30, 2006

I'm glad I bought this book. It has beautiful artwork and gives me ideas for my house. It also explains how to bring the room into the painting so that it looks like you could walk into the painting.
The only thing that I didn't like about the book is how they refer to murals that are not illusionistic as 'naive art'. That bothered me because everyone has their own style of painting and not every mural is meant to look like you can walk into it. It was kind of a pompous remark in my opinion.
Overall, the book has beautiful paintings, a lot of information on how they did the paintings, and is very inspiring.
