Average Customer Ratings:

With these completely illustrated, step-by-step techniques, anyone can paint spectacular murals for the home. Master muralists Gary Lord and David Schmidt present 15 magnificent projects - from mountains, woodlands and waterfalls to musical "swing" themes, underwater motifs and farm scenes, all accessible to the beginner and easily customized. The projects start with simple-yet-effective techniques and progress to more elaborate murals, broken down into a series of mini-demos. The book is filled with expert tips for great results - including various ways to paint skies, the most popular mural subject. The "drawing - impaired" will especially appreciate the authors' trick for using stencils to create the look of a hand-painted mural.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

I like gary's new books better -
this is an older book and the work simplistic I prefer his latest 3 books:The House That Faux Built,Its Faux Easy With Gary Lord and his latest mural book just coming out

Amatuers beware -
I think Gary Lord does wonderful work and these murals are amazing. However, unless you are an artist or have invested in some equipment, this isn't for you. It has great ideas that one might hire done.

something better -
Although this book was visually nice to look at I found it lacked in teaching me how to paint murals. I have stumbled across a great site that has free tutorials on it. The site is [...] I hope you find this helpful.

Marvelous murals -
This book has alot of good information that both novice and pro alike will love. There are alot of techniques covered in this book and the authors cover them extensively. If you're thinking of making a carreer as a muralist, or just want to spruce of your own home, this is the book to start with.

Something's missing -
I purchased this book in the hope that it would provide instruction to create the murals illustrated on the first few pages. Unfortunately, although there are very beautiful murals pictured,instructions are included for only a few. Perhaps my tastes differ from the authors but it seems that most garish and ugly murals were the ones that included "how to" instructions. It leads one to wonder if perhaps they do not want any competition in producing the more tasteful murals pictured! I also purchased the companion video and was disappointed for the same reasons- the instructions were only for projects I would not want to do.
