This DVD shows you the methods needed to make a variety of walls and roofs in marquetry.

You have standard brick walls plus dry stone walling and many other variations of commonly used brick work. You will also be shown how to make the mortar look correct rather than have it appear as black or white lines.

We will see how you can make a marquetry brick wall look realistic in angular perspective, as you can see here on the left.

You must admit that the example seen here certainly does have a very realistic appearance. Check the DVD out and learn how it is done.

Not only will you learn how to produce those convincing brick walls in the medium of marquetry, you will also learn how to make a realistic tiled roof into the bargain.

Many marquetarians over the years have attempted to have a go at producing brick walls in marquetry, but have ended up with somewhat of a technical drawing blue print rather than a realistic brick wall appearance. So if you want to make a wall that looks artistically correct, then treat yourself to this very helpful DVD. It is a wonderful tutorial.

Therefore we think we can say we most definitely recommend this latest DVD to you. The screen shots seen in this review have been taken directly from the DVD itself.
