Book Overview

This book is a comprehensive guide to painting murals both inside and outside the home, whether it be a child's room, entryway, kitchen, or garden. Patricia Seligman begins with a brief history of this artform, with photographs of unique mural paintings throughout the world. She follows with demonstrations on how to prepare a wall surface for painting and how to select the materials for the job. Artists will learn how to choose an appropriate subject for their mural, select colors that will create the desired effect, and transfer their design to the final surface. They'll learn as eight different murals are created step-by-step-including those in a child's room, bathroom, study, hallway, and on a ceiling. Through these projects, artists will discover how murals can be used to create visual tricks with the eye, provide a focal point to a room, create illusion of more space, render textures and more. Patricia Seligman has a degree in history and art from London University. She spent four years introducing young people to art through tours of the galleries and museums of London. As a freelance editor, she has also worked for a number of prominent art and drawing magazines in the United Kingdom. She lives in London, England This description may be from another edition of this product.

Beautiful illustrations!

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 14, 2008

This book has been a wonderful addition to my collection. I really enjoy all the beautiful illustrations and actual pictures of murals. As an amateur muralist, it has also been a wonderful reference book and I have used it many times!

just what I needed

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 29, 2008

I wanted a book that taught me how to paint murals, and by golly that's what I got. This book has a thorough explanation of tools, techniques and strategies to get the beginning muralist started. There are examples of murals, old and new, to get the creativity going. Just enough inspiration to jump off from. I don't like mimicking other's work, just getting good foundational ideas. You need this book if you don't want too...

Painting Murals

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 30, 2006

I have owned this book for several years. I have loaned it out, and purchased it many times for artist friends that want ideas or to start painting murals. If not complete, it has wonderful pictures and lovely step-by-step photos that make it a gem of a book.

A great book

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 15, 2000

I found this to be a very inspiring and informative book. The former reviewer gave it 3 stars because it does not have enough info on exterior mural painting. That was a little harsh. It covers interior painting and general mural painting very well.
