DESCRIPTION: Nearly twenty years after its first publication, Graham Rust’s The Painted House has become an invaluable sourcebook of trompe l’oeil images for interior designers, artists, and students. Now Rust has created more than 100 new patterns for murals, panels, alcoves and doors, overdoors, folding screens, and chimney boards.
As with The Painted House, Rust provides designs for copying as much as inspiration, with each drawing is reproduced in painstaking detail. Classical and modern images mingle in this collection, which includes landscapes, animals, fish and flowers, baskets, pots, drapery, trellises, and foliage, providing ideas for mural decoration, whether done personally or through the hands of an artist.
THE NEW PAINTED HOUSE is a tour de force of sketches, drawings, and completed works, and—with more than 100 color illustrations—is destined to become a classic.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Nice artwork...but a bit disappointing -
I bought this book anticipating great ideas and inspirations for murals and was fairly disappointed. Mostly sketches and layouts, it shows little finished murals at all.

Trompe L'oeil How-To -
A good reference book that is nicely illustrated throughout. The subject matter of this book deals most specifically with one type of formal Trompe L'oeil & mural painting than the subject in general. As such, I found it to be less effective than anticipated where general ideas for mural work are concerned. I would have preferred a broader approach to the subject, than the specific murals of a very formal & palatial residence, which while beautiful to look at, is not the average palette for murals at large.
Inspiring -
This book is a terrific idea generator and inspiring for the mural painter or for those who wish to commission a mural. Examples are plentiful and executed at a very high level using simple elements.
maybe i am just too jaded.... -
I was so wowed by Graham Rust's first two books, that I expected more from this one. Not so many projects in this book. However, I do love his sketches, and I appreciate the number of maquettes he included of designs he was *going* to paint, but didn't get to. In fact, I'd love to see a book of just his watercolor studies.

Graham Rust has done it again! -
This is an invaluable resource for muralists and trompe l'oeil artists, as well as a beautiful coffee table book for people who appreciate the arts. It consists of 7 chapters featuring the murals of several different rooms of the house including staircases. All of the projects are new and not recycled from his previous releases. Unlike the other books by this artist this book features room shots of the drawing stage (before paint is applied), as well as a section which walks the reader through the steps of a mural panel from start to finish. There are also a few pages dedicated to working method and color choices. However, this book is primarily an idea book and not an instructional manual. The only thing I would like to see more of are photos of the finished murals rather than just the renderings in watercolor.
This book is definately worth having as a part of your personal or professional library. Bravo!
