If cave painting is any indication, human beings have a primal interest in painting pictures on the walls of their homes. A professional muralist, Grund responds to the recent trend in interior design to paint clouds on ceilings, circuses on children's walls, and entire Tuscan scenes in dining rooms. The carefully planned, step-by-step projects take one through the processes of choosing subject matter, creating working sketches, selecting materials, prepping wall surfaces, and transferring designs to walls. Beginners or accomplished artists will find this valuable, as Grund covers everything from the very basics of painting lighthouse, monkey, egret, floral, and woodland murals to the process of setting up a mural business. This is a more extensive treatment of the subject than Jocelyn Kerr Holding's fine Quick & Easy Trompe l'Oeil Decorative Painting on Walls, Furniture, Frames & More. Highly recommended.
