Hi - I'd like to add another really fab reason for fresco work - it can't be stolen! Theives can steal the Mona Lisa just by lifting it away from the wall - not so the work in the sistine chapel!
I'm a trainee plasterer and a great fan of real (buon) fresco and would love to be good enough one day to have the honour of doing plasterwork for an artist. I also have an art qualification so I can appreciate how all the work is done!
Regards
Suzie
