Average Customer Ratings:

Painting Murals Step-by-Step provides complete and comprehensive instructions on how to design and paint wall murals from preliminary idea to first sketches on paper and then to the finished mural on the wall. Grund starts with the very basics with how to begin the process of designing a mural, making schematic drawings, choosing materials and preparing the wall surface. Detailed instruction on how to scale up a design, dealing with perspective, and making adjustments is provided. The muraling projects are arranged by themes, which include scenic vistas, floral garlands, woodland scenes, animals and birds, and two projects designed for children's rooms. Each project teaches the basics of a good mural, including values, colour, and texture, so that no mater what the theme, readers will learn the skills needed to successfully create and paint their own murals.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

something better -
Although this book was visually nice to look at I found it lacked in teaching me how to paint murals. I have stumbled across a great site that has free tutorials on it. I hope you find this helpful. The site is [...]

Great inspiration -
We went to a home tour which included murals by Charles Grund. Wanting to finish one I started, I thought I would be inspired to complete it with a look at more of his works.... and I was!! I only wish there were more tips for painting techniques included.

an OK how -to-book -
As a decorative artist I can say this book has it's good and bad points.It has some good step by step action for begginers, but it's just bluh.The colors are bluh, Mr Grund knows how to paint though, and teaches You a couple of tricks,but never the less, it is lacking something.LIFE.The paintings are all well done, yet they aren't really alive.But at the same time,everything is nicely done, well researched,maybe it's just how the pictures are photographed...It is a good reference book to have, but not too inspiring.

Joseph Brown's opinion: -
This is a good book that gives the general idea of how to paint a mural but technique is only lightly touched upon.
