Back in August of this year i flew out to Sweden , Palm Fine Arts , to learn some trompe L'oeil with the wonderfully talented Mats Carlson , it was an amazing week , here's some pics of my door , taken from my mobile phone , not the best , infact i can't stand back far enough to get the whole door in as the quallity of the pic is really bad , anyway here's some close ups
This door was painted on Mylar plastic film , which is great for transporting purposes.
Last pic of me and the door. lots to do still , infact i did'nt get it finished in Sweden , I've only just had time recently to finish it at home !!
Thanks CA
Yes everthing is painted moldings ornaments and of course the grain , I've been graining for many years, but this is new to me, as in the trompes ,i have much admired the technique for some time , i still have much to learn about Trompe L'oeil , i find it absolutely facinating .

Many times when taking a class, I also had to finish my Panels at Home as I always seem to run out of time... I do not think most pdople realize just how long it takes to Draw... and Paint / Shade... Trompe L Oeil Mouldings !
But the results sure make a Panel look Awesome to me.
Another Great Panel Jeremy!
I am finally over the hump on a Large Graining Project that Needs to be Complete by Thanksgiving.... At the same time on the home stretch of building a Studio,and samples for 3 other projects that will begin after Thanksgiving. Man I'm Tired !
Matts is a Great Artist.... Taught by Yannick and complimented by him also....

Hi Michael, thanks for the nice comments , yes your quite right when saying that it takes time to do elaborate work like this and also for me the trompes is new so the learning curxe is a big one , i love these techniques and will be using them for many future graining and marbling panels, the trompes add so much to a piece of work .
Yes Mats is an excellent and very gifted decorative painter , i think he has made quite a name for himself in the teaching ranks as more and more people want to learn from him .
Really looking forward to seeing some of your recent projects , you have already displayed on here some very fine work indeed .

I've tried taking some more pics but the quality is not great , really need to buy a good camera .

I also am not happy with most of my photos,as they lack the Depth that they actually have... I hope to have a friend of mine take some good pictures of this project, as it is to me one of the better Graining Jobs I have done.
Looks really incredible to me as well; certainly very beautiful. It must have taken many hours of painstaking detailed work to achieve. How much would something like that cost?
I wouldn't be surprised if it costs more than a real door with those same details!
Thanks very much for the nice comments, this door took about a week to complete, but learning new techniques is always slow going , would hope to do the same door in half that time now , but there is a lot of work involved !!
Thanks for the nice comment No unfortunitely i did'nt go to the decorative arts weekend ,i don't know if they are planing it again for this year , plus it was'nt very well advertised only found out about the dates a few weeks before, was just to busy with work to go .
Love the depth and detail in Trompe l’oeil murals and have been creating them for many years, primarily in the Nashville Tennessee area.
