THE
EXTERIOR MURAL EXPERIENCE:
Trompe
l'oeil & Mural Painting Class
Students, along
with the instructor, will create and complete this Trompe l'oeil - mural
painting on a 15x30 ft. prepared brick surface.
Learn design, blocking, blending,
lining, light and shadow effects, transferring, projections, and many other
techniques and effects used in exterior Trompe l'oeil - mural painting. Paint
in a team with instructor Brian Bullard and our special guest muralist and
fine artist, Douglas Coggeshall (coggart.com) from Chicago!
Safety comes first.
If you are not comfortable on the ladder or scaffolding you will be
assigned to ground level painting.
Students must have:
*a signed liability release form
(we supply this)
*proper footwear (boots, work shoes,
or tennis shoes)
*proper dress (casual, street or
painter's clothes, jacket that can get paint on it).
No drawing skills are necessary,
no experience required for this Trompe l'oeil - Mural class! You
only have to be able to trace and transfer on paper & follow instruction.
If
you can only fill in with a brush we want you on the team! If you have
experience but want to get out for the challenge and to learn even more,
you're welcome here!
You will leave this class with a
strong knowledge in the principles of Trompe l'oeil and mural painting
for exteriors. The project will be documented on CD and you will
receive a free copy for printing / portfolio use.
"I'm
