There is so much that could be said of trompe l'oeil, but this video gives an introduction to the subject, its key terms, and how adjusting the elements can create different effects and illusions. Part 2 will go into more detail of how to apply the principles introduced in this video to painting.
In preparation for this video, I studied the trompe l'oeil chapters in:
"Painting for Performance: A Beginner's Guide to Great Painted Scenery" by Sean O'Skea
"Scenic Art for the Theatre" by Crabtree and Beudert
I recommend reading both for a more in-depth look at trompe l'oeil!
Also, many thanks to Wendy Rae Waszut-Barrett for letting me use some of her photos, and if you are interested in learning more about historical backdrops and the work that is being done to preserve them, check out the Dry Pigment Facebook group, or the website: [ Ссылка ]
