Customer Reviews

Beautiful illustrations!

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

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 much fluff, and just enough stuff!

ITS THE DETAILS

Painting Murals

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

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.
