Customer Reviews

Lots of detail

I purchased this book for my daughters who are just starting their own mural business. We found the advice by Mr. Grund on equipment and techniques to be quite helpful. This book may be too basic for an advanced person, but for those just "setting up shop" it is quite helpful. There are lots of photos and good explanations of how to do different effects.

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.
