Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
There are many decorative painting books, but few give as detailed instructions as Trout's book does. Trout, a professional decorative painter, shows only nine projects, but each has careful, well-illustrated instructions that go step by step through the process of painting, including patterns for the designs and a list of materials and colors needed. The method to achieve the realistic, handpainted scenes of leaves, fruit, animals, and even a landscape are clearly depicted. Plaid and Delta, both manufacturers of decorative paint supplies, provide more projects but with less-detailed instructions. Trout's book will be good for inexperienced painters, while the Delta and Plaid books are for collections where there is a strong demand for this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars
So realistic looking!,
By Kathy Cook (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handpainting Your Furniture (Paperback)
The book explains each detail so precisely yet so simply. The animals and foliage appear three-dimensional and almost life-like. The lists of paints and supplies is a great help and the photos throughout the book are terrific -- shows details and step-by-step instructions. A wonderful learning tool!
