This fascinating fresco demonstration is an excellent opportunity for
you to get familiar with the creative process and concept of buon
(true) fresco - painting on wet plaster. iLia, Nathan, and Masha will
introduce their audience to the traditional method of the true buon
fresco and erase most of the misconception about traditional buon
fresco technique that one may currently have.
During this intense 4-hour demonstration, the viewer will be witness to:
Preparation of the fresco panel using traditional methods and
materials; Preparation and transfer of the cartoon onto freshly-applied
intonaco plaster layer of the fresco panel; Selection and mixing of the
colors from ground fresco pigments; Painting of a fresco using
traditional technique starting from verdaccio (underpainting) to
"Golden Hour."
During iLias' demo, there will be: Step-by-step preparation for fresco
development of the concept and design, building composition based on giornatas
(painting days); Developing of the cartoon and making tracings from concept
sketch and color rendering to full-scale cartoon and color study; to
Finalizing giornatas layout and making tracings.
The demonstration includes discussions on: Sand and lime mixtures;
Humidity control and moisture; Scratch, rough, float, arriccio and
intonaco; Painting and joining giornatas; Steps in painting and drying
challenge; Plaster behaviors and planning of the painting day;
Materials needed for fresco; Where and how to find and buy fresco
supplies i.e. lime, pigment, brushes, etc.; Ways to apply skills and
tools and equipment needed.
This is surely an opportunity of a lifetime. To be in the presence of
these great artists and historians, together in one location, providing
you with knowledge and insight into fresco, restoration and history
that cannot be found in any other arena, this demonstration is
priceless!
