Trompe L'Oeil Murals
Easy Painting Technique

by Richard Ancheta

Every custom trompe l'oeil murals are created with the individual projects, from initial sketch to completion. It's important to proceed in a series of steps of studies to create a well designed trompe l'oeil painting and speed the procedure of the painting sessions. Herewith are the three simplified steps to the development of speedy trompe l'oeil projects.

1

Visualization:

The trompe l'oeil design begins in collecting ideas and elements, collecting references like photos and designs that is harmony to the overall theme and designs of the interior. Pencil sketches will be the first visual impression.

Preliminary Design:

After the final sketched and revisions is the application of color study harmony. It can be colored by airbrush application, watercolour painting, colored markers, computer design programs like Photoshop and Corel Draw or more high-tech 3D softwares like 3DMax or Maya.

Application of trompe l'oeil Illusion:

The final rendition is the scaling and enlarging of the colored sketch to the desired size. Perspective will be adjusted in the normal eye level, as if you are standing in the front of the view, start to paint the background as if it is painted in series of layers. The farthest detail is in the misty effect and impressionism, the middle ground is gradually detailed and the foreground is sharp, detailed and concise.
