Ursula E. Benad and Martin Benad
Trompe L'oeil: Sky And Sea

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.
