A FRESCO COURSE
To paint a fresco is easy!
1) you stretches the fresh plaster on the support. 2) you chooses the subject to reproduce and it is traced with the pencil. 3) you perforates with I tap him/it the drawn contour. 4) with a pouch where colour there is in dust it fights on the effected holes. This way the trace of our sketch appears to paint. 5) with the brush the dots are united or you/he/she immediately can be started to paint a zone of the sketch. 6) the colours are natural pigments, earths and mineral elegantly minced, that can be diluted with little water. 7) the colours must be mixed among them. For instance for the complexion of a face: pink + yellow ochre + white. 8) every time that he changes colour is had to rinse the brush in the jar of the water to maintain all clean of them. 9) you begins with an intermediary tonality to which then the dark colour and the clear ones are added. The contour can finally be redrawn with more precision. The fund of the image is painted for last. 10) is not necessary to exactly respect the original colours since the job serves for learning but also to have a good time him, therefore can give space to the imagination! info@officinadelleartiantiche.it
