[.ca] Trompe L'Oeil Murals Using Stencils (ISBN 1581800282)

Trompe L'Oeil beginner:
Great book for beginners or those with some experience in dabbling with stencils like myself. The ABSOLUTE BEST is the great list of web sites in the Resource section of the book. I have found GREAT information on these sites as well as some SUPER stencil stores.This is a must for those fellow stencilers who want to graduate to more creative and challenging works but feel they don't have the creative talent or "juices" like ME!!

Something to Aspire to:
This book (as well as the author's website and training classes) are for the more advanced artist or professional painter. Her work is absolutely beautiful, and achievable if you have some artistic talent. Consider this book after you've had some experience with stencils and general painting techniques. For beginners, try "Stenciling on a Grand Scale" by Linda Buckingham if you are looking for a less complex entry into the world of trompe l'oeil using stencils. However -- if you're ready for a challenge, this is an outstanding volume!!

Interesting but not indepth.:
If you want to paint what she suggest it is fine. But if you want to create your own paintings then you need a different book.

Great Book:
This is a great book and give's easy to follow instructions. However, even though the instructions are given quiet well you better have some real talent to paint the way they tell you in the book. Beautiful color and idea's in this book. I am glad I purchased it a good value for the money.

Absolutely essential to helping me with my project!:
I have a lot of creative energy and when I decided to try theorem stencilling, I bought several different books. However, this one book is the one that I constantly refer to to help me with my projects. It is clear and easy to follow with good instructions and pictures. If you are just starting out, this is the first book to buy. I also recommend her videos, which are the best on the market.
