FRESCO TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS

Fresco Technique Example

The Calicot method / strappo ( recognized by the Superintendence of Fine Arts for restoring ancient works) is shown above. All of the items on this web site were first painted on a stone / masonry wall on fresh plaster and then removed from the wall using the above technique. The only difference is that after we remove the fresco, instead of gluing it back to the wall we glue it to a canvas frame it and sell it as a panel painting.
