What is Fresco Painting?
Affresco (In English usage, “fresco”), Buon Fresco (true fresco). Painting done on freshly laid wet plaster with pigments dissolved in lime water. As both dry they become completely integrated. In true fresco (ital. – buon fresco) the artist must start applying his colors on the wet (or fresco) intonaco as soon as it has been prepared and laid on the wall. The colors can thus be absorbed by the wet plaster. When it dries and hardens, the colors become one with plaster. Practiced in every culture from Ancient Worlds to Contemporary.
