Trompe L'oeil and Faux Painting

Trompe L'oeil

Trompe L'oeil is French and literally means to "Fool the Eye". It is a style of painting in which objects are depicted with photographically realistic detail. Trompe l'oeil, deceiving the eye, is a fabulous way to add interest both inside and outside of your home.

Faux Painting

A French term for paint that is applied by an artist to a surface in a manner to match a certain patterns and colors desired. This normally requires a base coat of paint with numerous other coats of other colors of paint to achieve the desired look. Faux painting is used on walls and many other surfaces. Almost any faux look can be accomplished to create various textures and looks.
