Trompe L'Oeil Panels and Panoramas Decorative Images for Artists and Architects

Product Details

From the co-author of the best-selling The Handbook of Painted Decorationcomes this advanced exploration of trompe l’oeil art and technique.

This is a treasury of stunning designs ideal for interior designers and their clients, artists seeking inspiration, or for those simply wishing to copy the images themselves, as the included CD-ROM enables the reader to do.

Step-by-step sketches and carefully selected details of the finished pieces provide an effective demonstration tool, allowing artists both to refine their skills and acquire new techniques to enhance their repertoire. In compositions encompassing classical and fantasy landscape and architecture as well as flora, fauna and the human figure, Guégan demonstrates the successful execution of elegant wood, marble, drapery, and natural and figurative motifs, for decorative panels and panoramic murals.

With its thoughtful integration of fine French methods and traditions with contemporary style and innovation, Trompe L’Oeil Panels and Panoramas is the ideal instruction manual and an indispensable reference tool for anyone working in interior design and decoration.

The CD-ROM included contains easy-to-use screen-resolution TIFF files of each painting.

Yannick Guégan has practised his trade for almost forty years. In 1982 he was awarded the medium's highest French distinction.
