FRESCOES, look below the complete Gallery

The fresco technique is both ancient and complex. In begins with an application of fresh plaster. Natural pigments are applied during the drying process. The lime in the plaster binds the pigments and the colours become more vivid. To transpose the painting on to canvas we use a technique called the "snatch technique". The "snatch technique" is also used by restorers. All of the images below create an atmosphere reminiscent of the distant past. Frescos effects can also be created using a technique that mimics the passing of time on the painting, making it look older. For this reason each image can be painted as “True Fresco” or “False Fresco”.
