All about Fresco Painting
Fresco is a painting technique in which pigments are applied to wet plaster on a wall. As the plaster dries, the colours become part of the wall and last for a long time. Artists have to work quickly while the plaster is still damp.
Many famous frescoes, including those in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, have lasted for centuries. Fresco painters must plan each section carefully, because only the area of plaster they can finish in one day can be painted.
