Amazon.com ReviewFreehand trompe l'oeil can be quite a challenging undertaking, but using stencils to achieve a similar effect makes the process more approachable. Rounded or dimensional forms can be made to look quite convincing with the right shading and color gradations, and the use of multiple overlays facilitates a more threedimensional look than does singlestep stenciling. Unfortunately, this book is a fairly dull presentation on what could be an exciting and lively technique. The author explains some basic stenciling principles, with brief discussions of cutting and coloring multistep stencils, then offers a series of 'projects' that are in fact not stepbystep directions but more general coverage of how to paint such standard fare as bowls of fruit, candlesticks, trailing vines, plates on shelves, and architectonic motifs. Her colors are often either too muddy or a bit garish, and her renderings frequently unconvincing. And although each finished design is illustrated in color, it simply floats on the page, rather than in some context of a room or a piece of furniture, leaving readers entirely on their own to imagine how to transplant the images off the page and into their homes. Amy HandyProduct DescriptionThrough shadow and light, a stenciled painting can look almost realwith texture, gradations of color, and a 3D quality that fools the eye. Unlike freehand trompe l'oeil, stenciling is easy to learn, so beginners get great results with little practice. Trace and cut stencils with bridges, or multistep ones that break down each element in the drawing. Begin with simpler designsa pleated fan, perhapsthat teach shading skills, and then see how to capture the delicate tones of a perfect rose. Over 35 projects. 160 pages (all in color), 7 5/8 x 10 1/4. NEW IN PAPERBACKFrom Library JournalJennings surveys a broad variety of media, from charcoal to pastels, watercolor, gouache, oils, and more, and he relies on the advice and work of a large group of artists to help the beginner choose media, tools, and techniques. Unlike the authors of Art School, Jennings creates an actual curriculum here. Exercises that compare the same subject, e.g., a redenameled coffeepot, painted in both acrylic and pastel, are enlightening. Very highly recommended.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
