Trompe l'oeil Painting Class in Houston!

Are you interested in Trompe l'oeil - mural painting, but hesitant to make the leap and $1150.00 investment in our three-day class?

Do you crave a nurturing, local art environment that has useful information, is disciplined yet fun, and not overwhelming?

Would you like to learn step-by-step principles, that you can apply to your own home and paintings, with any brand of latex paint?

Our Trompe l'oeil - Mural Painting Class is in its tenth year, and we've trained and certified hundreds of students from across the nation in this invigorating, informative, and mind-blowing (in a good way!) block of instruction.






For the first time ever, we are offering the "Taste of Trompe l'oeil" mural painting class, which is designed for the Houston homeowner, artist, or enthusiast who wants to learn the fascinating yet simple principles of Trompe l'oeil - mural painting.




Included in this three-hour block of instruction:

*simple sky background, good for use in all types of paintings

*stone wall effect, a light and shadow "fool the eye" effect

*butterfly, the irresistable focal point

You will learn:
*tools and materials, and their use

*basic principles to creating a 3-d look on a flat surface

*easy color theory and mixing

*our patented, simple, "two-thirds" method for creating objects

*application of light and shadow

You won't be a Trompe-l'oeil artist and the end of our session, but you will have basic theoretical and practical experience which will allow you to paint without assistance in your own home or improve your existing artwork!

And, should you be so enthused as to enroll in our Trompe l'oeil - mural painting certification class after completing this session, the entire cost of this three-hour course is deducted against your enrollment fee! Trompe l'oeil mural-painting techniques can be applied to a small canvas, or an entire ceiling, even advanced artists have done this painting and said that they learned a lot in the process.

Class: Taste of Trompe l'oeil - Mural Painting
Hours: three (3)
Materials: included for use, 18x24 canvas board, free set of brushes to each student

You may have taken other painting classes in Houston for a lesser cost, but probably not designed on the same principle -- we want our students to walk away with fundamental, useful information that will stick with them for a lifetime of painting!

As a student in the "Decorative Arts Center", a private school, you are invited into our first-class facility as a friend. You'll feel at home, special but not pretentious, and with a class size limited to eight students, you are guaranteed to get the individual attention that instructor / owner Brian Bullard knows you crave and deserve!
