Murals, Trompe L'oeil and Paint Effects

Mel Holmes is a highly regarded mural artist who specialises in bespoke murals, trompe l'oeil, decorative paint effects and portraiture.

His murals have taken him throughout the UK, the Middle East, Bermuda and Asia. Projects have included large scale shopping malls, hotels, restaurants and numerous private houses.

Mel's skills in the technique of marouflage (painting on canvas to be applied to walls) allow very large murals to be completed in the studio, eliminating time and disturbance on location . With this method the client can be kept up to date with the development of the painting via images and email.

As well as murals and trompe l'oeil, Mel also offers a full range of specialist paint finishing effects including wood graining, marbling, colour washes, stoneblocking and guilding.
