Fresco in Toronto

Only I would premiere my new outrageously expensive Venetian Fresco in a recession :)
Please drop me a line if you would like an appointment or just too have a laugh.
I have been working on this for the last  four years and these pieces have to be seen to be believed.
They are painted in and on venetian plaster and then burnished to reveal a depth in the shine.
I am working on a contemporary plaster right now that is of birch trees.
Post soon!

How to paint a Fresco


Well,
I have started a fresco in my friend Stephanie's new digs in Rosedale.
After a sit down in the hallway over some photos and books of both ours.
I was thinking something soft and italian and settled on older version of a roman garden.
The garden colours will be still soft blue sky and light colours in the garden.
I have found lots of historial reference I will show you.
Looking forward to trying a new venetian plaster by Debbie Travis.
Take pictures has I go.
