Every
custom trompe
l'oeilmurals
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.
2 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.
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.
