Fresco Painting Pigments

Fresco and Secco



37 fresco pigments
Mortar finished 4:30 Painting 5:30 Excellent absorption 7:00 on magenta 7:40 it's starting to crack from the edges. The intonaco is too thick. It cracked on all my scribed lines. 8:00 still absorbing great and I'm finished. I should have started at 6:00. It will probably absorb until 10:00.

37 fresco pigments proved lime proof in wet lime.
Two weeks later it looked exactly the same, including ultramarine blue, blue deep and cobalt blue deep. Ultramarine and cobalt deep can't be mixed in with lime mortar, but they can be painted on wet lime. Sometimes they change if they sink in too deep. See the Jar wet lime color tests.
Secco pigments are noted. Pigments that are ground in other then water are noted.
