Murals and trompe l'oeil paintings are a unique way of adding personality to any part of the home. From the French term 'to trick the eye', they can create a particular atmosphere, enlarge a small space or create a focal point. Trompe l'Oeil Design Library contains everything you need to create the scene you want, from a country pitcher on a shelf or climbing wisteria, to curtains surrounding a window or a Greek landscape glimpsed through a marble arch. Each section contains two full-scale projects, one large-scale and one smaller, illustrated in step-by-step detail showing how the picture is built up. A wide selection of templates extends the theme, offering countless more designs. The tools, materials and techniques sections are comprehensive and easy to follow.

Bible an exaggeration -
Calling a book a "bible" is an affectionate term usually reserved for highly regarded works that many professionals turn to for help and/or inspiration. Like Ralph Mayer's "The Artists Handbook".
This book is not a "bible". It is more like a primer suitable for beginners and hobbyists. Very disappointing to find it so elementary.

Great instructional book -
If you want some trompe l'oeil tips along with photographs of finished work, this is a great book. Step by step instruction of many illusions.

uninspiring -
The book lacks both technical details and inspirations. Contains several basic boreing projects so meticulously drawn line after line as for to be copied. The "trompe l'oeil" title is too ambitious either. Sorry to admit but very like other books offered.
