The Fresco course is organized on the first Saturday of each month throughout the year through a single meeting in which to learn how to create a fresco, on a natural support, using the ancient technique and pigments.
The processing phases are the preparation and application of the plaster, the choice of the ancient subject to be reproduced, its transfer with the dusting method and the application of natural pigments. For those who already know other pictorial techniques it is an absolute novelty to slide the brush soaked in Cinabrese, Bianco di Sangiovanni and other shades that have now disappeared from today's palettes, on the fresh plaster. For those who have no experience it can be a good start to get in touch with painting.
For groups of tourists, schools and team building we organize workshops by reservation even in historic locations in the center of Rome, lasting 2/3 hours in which to experience an exclusive and artistic experience, in which everyone collects their work immediately.
