Murals and trompe l'oeil are often confused. A mural is an image or design painted directly on a wall; trompe l'oeil is a realistic painting style that makes objects look real. Murals are not always realistic - they can be abstract designs or geometric patterns. Styles range from realistic to whimsical, and often incorporate multiple techniques: a wall can be colorwashed or sponged, and then a scene can be applied using stenciled or hand painted details, or both background and each detail can be created by hand.

Anyone with a little talent can stylize a mural or can trace images projected on walls, but more challenging murals should be done by artists who have years of training & experience with painting techniques and design.
