Fresco Technique

Using Fresco as a technique in doing artwork is really impressive. I was flabbergasted by how the artist takes into account the color shift as the paint dries and binds to the plaster. Though doing this kind of technique wasn't easy but what makes it unique is that it is durable and the color does not become part of the wall and tends to flake off over time.

amazing technique, all the plaster layers, the stenciling, and how the artist keeps in mind the color change as the paint bonds with the plaster when drying

I just had a wonderful trip to Florence last winter and impressed by the fresco pieces there. And I wanna make a fresco at home. Thank you for the great video and inspired me a lot!

"Why Did You Come Here

All are waiting for the Creator’s salvation at the end times
Before demise comes, the Fa [Heavenly Law] principles that save people are spreading
Yet people chase after fame and gain
What’s acquired in a lifetime’s effort cannot be carried away with you
Coming and going—you alone
In a busy life you’ve forgotten why you came here
Before descending, most of you were Kings in your heavenly kingdoms
Giving up your divine bodies to save the heavenly beings
Gain in the human world is not important
Connect your divine destiny, remake yourself
Seek the truth, break free from delusion
Fulfill the wish you came with to the world—that’s your great joy

[macsthoughts]

im a beggining fresco artists, what types of paint should i use

[GTalcoholstove]

When you use water mixed pigment for applying to buon fresco, does the ground pigment last perpetually in a jar or does it settle and require re grinding after a time?

[francescosacco]

Does your book include a list of the traditional pigments? And where they can be obtained?

[Somersaultstudio]

this video was very helpful! I want to buy your book but it is not available on Amazon. I can't seem to find it in the US. Where can I get a copy in English?

[SergioRodriguez-hgsl]

Are there a way to protect or varnishing the fresco painting as usually artists does with other tecnicniques? Maybe with soap or wax as protecting coat?
Excelent channel and videos!
