What is Fresco?

Liana Sofia explains, "what is fresco?" during a short film that documents the creation of a 3 section Fresco. Fresco is an ancient medium that requires large works to be painted in sections called "giornate." Each "giornata" is a section of fresh plaster that must be painted on before it dries and signifies 1 painting day of approx 12-15 hours. This is a rare opportunity to view how frescoes like the famous Sistine Chapel ceiling, were created. After watching "What is Fresco?" be sure to watch "The Strappo Technique" a deeper look at the processes Liana uses to create her work.

Thank you!! this has been so helpful :)

Gorgeous work. My question concerns the cement backer board. Do you pre-wet the board before the plaster is applied? I would be afraid that the moisture of the plaster would be absorbed to quickly by the backer board. In addition, any special sand? I like to use silica sand (white ashtray sand) beautiful dahling, beautiful!

yes yes yes, absolutely do pre wet the cement board before the plaster is applied for exactly that reason!! I guess you could use silica sand...I personally like a little more texture. Glad you enjoyed the video!!!! Thank you.
