Step into the timeless world of fresco painting in this hands-on course designed for artists and beginners alike. Learn traditional techniques used since ancient Roman times mixing pigments, preparing plaster, and painting on wet surfaces to create lasting works of art. Participants will complete their own fresco panels while gaining a deep appreciation for historical craftsmanship, colour theory, and the discipline of working quickly and deliberately. Leave with a finished piece, new skills, and a richer connection to art history.
