Generally, decorative painting includes translucent wall color effects (glazing), textural wall effects, trompe l&#8217;oeil and murals. Decorative painting can enhance your home by harmonizing the furnishings with the architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Wall glazing adds visual depth that flat wall paint can not provide. Texture techniques can freshen and give great appeal to older walls that show wear or age. Trompe l&#8217;oeil (pronounced \u201ctrump loy\u201d) is an artistic technique where a wall is painted to appear to be something other than what it is. Stone block, brick or carved stone are popular subjects of trompe l&#8217;oeil. \u00a0This technique offers depth or dimension that is only illusionary.\u00a0 A trompe l&#8217;oeil is a painting that has a shallow depth of field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Murals range in as many styles as there is imagination. Niches are popular places to put murals. Murals can bring in local color, expand color palettes and establish decorating themes. They can bring the outside inside. Murals can even add needed light, space or depth in a hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Walker Art Dept would be happy to contribute and assist with ideas for your home or office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI endeavor to help my clients find the artistic expression of their ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Having served the interior design industry as an artist for over 30 years,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I have developed my talent and skills to provide clients with the highest\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 standards in decorative art services.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 David Walker<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Walker, owner of Walker Art Dept., specializes in residential mural art, decorative and faux painting.
