Thank you for the wonderful information! That is exactly what I needed to know. My husband used to work in construction and he is familiar with Portland cement/stucco and wire meshing, etc. I would have him do the base layering and I just do the Lime Paint layer and Decorative Painting.

My plans are to work with this technique and to paint on the final coating (Lime Paint) with casein or Lime Water & pigments in the Lime Painting and Fresco Secco techniques. I not feel that I am knowledgeable enough to attempt the True Fresco/Buon Fresco technique yet.

I have wanted to take your class and hope to do so in the near future. In the meantime, it may be good for me to purchase your DVD tutorials to better understand the Foundations of True Fresco Painting. My ultimate goal is to recreate a Pompeiian Fresco panel utilizing these methods.
