Fresco Painting - Modern Methods and Techniques for Painting in Fresco and Secco
Author: Olle Nordmark
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1446547345
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
This book has been written for the painter in fresco, who wishes to acquire enough knowledge of the craft to enable him to supervise, guide and efficiently work with the craftsmen plasterers who are put in charge of the preparation of his materials and wall and who will assist him as the finishing plasterers throughout the period of painting. It should be remembered that the surface of the so-called “Intonaco,” must yield the best possible working conditions, giving the painter the longest possible time to execute the part of the wall intended for a day’s work. In order that such a condition should prevail, a thorough knowledge of the materials used in the practice of fresco painting must be acquired through the practical utilization of a series of operations to obtain necessary ultimate results. Stress is, therefore, laid upon the fact that the painter himself must guide and guard the preparation of his materials and the different layers of mortar which build up the fresco ground, the foundation for the painting. Also, if he is not prepared himself to do the work, he must be able to give final full directions for the “Intonaco” or painting surface, the richness of the mixing and its perfect application which in itself requires experienced handling of tools in the piece-meal plastering of the wall, all of which is the groundwork for the actual painting. This HANDBOOK, therefore, will endeavor to explain the practice of fresco and fresco-secco painting in connection and collaboration with the trade from which it was derived — the building trade.

Fresco Painting
Author: James Ward
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
"Fresco Painting" is the work of British painter and artist James Ward. Ward endeavours in his treatise to place before students some practical hints in the methods and processes of fresco painting, which are the outcome of his experience in the practice of the "buon-fresco," and the "spirit-fresco" systems of wall decoration. He favors this technique over the stereochrome, or German "water-glass," and its later variety, the Keims process of fresco painting, having compared the visual effects of all these techniques. His book came at a time of condemnation of fresco painting by critics, and even by some eminent artists, all of whom seem to echo each other in pointing out the failures in the examples executed on the walls of the English Houses of Parliament and other places; and all agreed, because of these failures, that fresco painting was impossible in the country, owing to the dampness of the climate. He seeks to show that it is the artists' inexperience to blame instead.

Modern Fresco Paintings is the first collection of Ali Cavanaugh's paintings, andit follows her entire career using watercolor on kaolin clay to create hermodern fresco technique and the lovely work that flows from it. Beginning withher hyper-realistic portraits and ending with her latest, more free-flowingpictures, her use of light, color, and the human form captures the essence ofher models and their forms and feelings in a particular moment. Cavanaugh's artistic sensibilitywas developed by two important events in her childhood. Her dependence on the visualworld began when she lost much of her hearing through spinal meningitis whenshe was two, and her creative spirit developed out of her being raised in a ruralenvironment where she had to create her own ways of expressing herself and makingher own fun. She developed her stunningmodern fresco medium almost by accident as she was learning to apply the outerlayer of plaster to her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Since that time thisvolume illustrates her growth as an artist and her mastery of the technique. These are lovely works, paintedmasterfully. Both long-time followers of Cavanaugh's work---from the earliest "SockArms" paintings to those who found her through more recent work like the Chroma series---and those who are discoveringher and her art for the first time, will be delighted by this collection.
