#0, The Making of Diego Rivera's portable panels
Posted by Mitchell Henry on 02-Dec-02 at 08:05 PM
Hello all.
As a newcomer to the forum, and fresco, please excuse any "re-topics".
I am extremely excited about entering this world after being away from my painting for so long. I have spent the last many years as a business, doing authentic imported Italian plaster wall finishes, working with wonderful pigments in lime, so I find fresco as a natural transition back to my painting roots.
What I am searching for now is as much information on the authentic fresco techniques as I can get my hands on...from panel construction and materials and recipes, to the true art and presentation. I’ve been watching the Dimitrov's AFM "Fresco Workshop Video" which is great, but only opens a door to many more questions.
I am an avid reader, so I was hoping for as many book and resource suggestions as I could find to get me started in the right direction.

Thanks in advance, Mitchell
