Fresco with mason mix

[@jjk2one]

Can you tell me how the pigment was mixed to make it liquid? Thank you

[@JerrysartaramaArtSupply]

@Karen thank you for your question! Georges had mixed pigments with distilled water to make it liquid! All you have to do is put both in a cup and stir - easy peasy! That being said, some pigments might be ground down finer than others, so the amount of time it takes to fully stir them together could vary from pigment to pigment and brand to brand.

[@yoursleepparalysisdemon1828]

@@JerrysartaramaArtSupplyIs it possible to overstir pigments? Or do they stop getting thicker at a certain point?

[@katiekarakondis3348]

Can a fresco be made on heavy burlap?

[@doctorwhyphi]

To what board or material did you apply the arriccio? Or anyone else, what could I use? I heard the back of a tile works, that's just a bit small though. Thanks! Good video anyways!

[@JerrysartaramaArtSupply]

Dear Doctor Why: In the closeup shots of this Fresco tutorial, it appears that George has applied plaster to a cradled Ampersand Hardbord panel. Due to the weight of the plaster when it is applied, you will want a hard surface that you have applied either a textured gesso or acrylic texture paste to and allowed to fully dry, to give tooth to the application of the plaster (to discourage it from delaminating down the road). There are many great brands of cradled board that would be durable enough to support the plaster weight, from small to very large sizes. Here's a link to multiple brands: search.jerrysartarama.com/search?w=cradled%20panels

Wonderful!!! Can you possible put the "terms" [Italian words] here? "Arrechio "(?), "Intonacco"? "Jornatta"? thank you Georges!!!

[@cosmonautcries8099]

What kind of plaster do you use?

[@JerrysartaramaArtSupply]

Thanks for the question Cosmonaut cries. Traditionally, Lime plaster is used for frescos. This is because when pigment is applied to the wet plaster, the lime will mix with the pigment and carbonate, making the pigment an integral part of the plaster.

[@RAKESHKUMAR-zv1dl]

Sir how to make plaster?

[@JerrysartaramaArtSupply]

To make plaster, you typically mix plaster of Paris powder with water. Here's a general procedure: Measure the desired amount of plaster of Paris powder. Gradually add the powder to clean water in a mixing container while stirring continuously. Continue mixing until the plaster is fully dispersed and forms a smooth, creamy consistency. Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes to allow any air bubbles to rise to the surface. Pour or apply the plaster mixture into your desired mold or surface. Allow the plaster to set and cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before handling or painting. Always follow safety guidelines and the manufacturer's instructions when working with plaster.

Would it be OK to place the intonaco first, then apply the spolvaro?

[@amygardnerdean4594]

Dear Daniel-- According to several step-by-step websites, you need to apply the intonaco first, and allow it about 20 minutes to set up before applying the spolvero. Here is a quick step-by-step description of how to set up for and produce the fresco, that seems easiest to follow. www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Fresco-Painting
