I am the wrong person to ask this question, I am and will be an advocate for, and a pupil of undisstressed, alive frescoes - takes years to mature in color - a fassinating process to vitness through years for a collector, viewer, artist - like an aged wine the difference is that the "bottle always remains full". However with some practice and with different ammount of water in the plaster You should be able to control the size and location of the cracks easily.

The beauty of the fresco is in color - not cracks!
