REVIEW -'In Nicola's courses, there is always something to lean above what you expected. I love trompe l'oeil paintings and was anxious to take this course. In addition to the style of painting, I am learning more about how to improve my painting of shadows. And it is amazing to see how with just 2 or 3 colors she can achieve such an array. A wonderful teacher. A wonderful class!'  Doris Dickenson


TROMPE L'OEIL

A French phrase meaning ‘deceives the eye or to trick the eye’ used to describe paintings that create the illusion of a real object or scene.

Learn this fascinating and captivating painting technique in this introductory course and literally introduce a new dimension to your painting.

This technique is often used in the painting of murals and as small decorative 'jokes' on walls and furniture, but this style can be fabulous in a painting as you will see here.

There is no reason why you can't have fun with this and in this course I'll show you how. Here we will paint these dried chili peppers. We will also paint an old key hanging on a wall and a butterfly.

This is also a great course for those of you who like details, using a small brush and creating 'fine' art.

What fun. Love Nicola
