Trompe l'oeil means "Fool the Eye" and is used to trick the eye into seeing real-life three-dimensional objects "jump out" of their flat paintings.  Sarah Saltus will share "tricks" of composition, color, style, and presentation on Kraft paper to create the illusion that a flat painting consists of real, three-dimensional objects. Prerequisites: Drawing II, Colored Pencil II.
