To define a sequence (order) they should be studied in is even harder! **We Will Help!** Each student’s curriculum and study plan is individually crafted by Fresco School’s experts. (For instance – it is impossible to understand why the colors are “muddy” without first learning when the plaster is ready to be painted on. In other words, if you get “muddy” colors that means that you have missed one of the plastering lessons). **We use traditional study focus presets, or use [our curriculum subjects](#LCS) to create new. Subjects are thought using our [Livestream Workshop/Class Unit](#LWU) structure.** **POMPEIAN FRESCO TECHNIQUES** ![](https://frescoschool.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/pompeii-fresco-3rd-imperiale-bthumb-150x150.jpg)Students explore and practice specific fresco techniques used by Romans as well as the details of wall and panel preparation. During this class we focus on painting on 1 part lime 1 part marble meal (original “marmorino”) layer of plaster-system used in Pompeii. Students also learn about terra-cotta (hydraulic lime) based lime fresco plaster used by their Etruscan contemporaries.

Students study specific methods of applying color and painting principles of the “canon” as well as discover merging points and cross-pollination with Italian frescoes. [BFT as Stand Along Course](https://agents.frescoschool.net/product/byzantine-fresco-techniques-multi-unit-fsoa-individual-course-private-via-zoom) **RENAISSANCE FRESCO TECHNIQUES** ![renaissance fresco techniques](https://frescoschool.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/renaissance-fresco-sistine150.jpg)Students focus on the classic methods of buon fresco painting practiced during the Renaissance as well as study the details of wall and panel preparation.

Learn about classic system of preparation of the colored plasters for base, intermediate and top layers of plaster. One-layer, two and three layer classic sgraffito systems with lime-paint and plaster top coats are studied and practiced. Sgraffito work often includes details painted in buon fresco which is also addressed during this workshop.
