I feel honored that I have the pleasure of posting the inaugural message in this forum. This is going to be a great forum and site for everything fresco so lets start posting guys and gals. If you are new to fresco painting I would like to recommend a site that might help you get started:

http://www.pbs.org/fresco/hist.html#top

You can't go wrong with PBS (at least in my opinion) and in this case I believe they do a good job of providing a brief history of fresco painting and provide a nice timeline. Enjoy and once again lets get posting!
