Class description
422-C Fresco Painting The ancient art of fresco painting is a rare and almost forgotten art form. Literally defined fresco painting means to paint into fresh plaster. In this three day class you will run through the steps that it takes to make a fresco painting on a wall or a permanent surface. Understanding how to make plaster imbedded paintings that will last thousands of years is very rewarding. You will not just learn how to create fresco paintings but also learn how to create an economically viable business while developing your own fresco style. You will conduct hands-on exercises to develop and refine your fresco techniques.
