This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2012-05-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval painters built up a tremendous range of technical resources for obtaining brilliance and permanence. In this volume, an internationally known authority on medieval paint technology describes these often jealously guarded recipes, lists of materials, and processes. Based upon years of study of medieval manuscripts and enlarged by laboratory analysis of medieval paintings, this book discusses carriers and grounds, binding media, pigments, coloring materials, and metals used in painting. It describes the surfaces that the medieval artist painted upon, detailing their preparation. It analyzes binding media, discussing relative merits of glair versus gums, oil glazes, and other matters. It tells how the masters obtained their colors, how they processed them, and how they applied them. It tells how metals were prepared for use in painting, how gold powders and leaf were laid on, and dozens of other techniques. Simply written, easy to read, this book will be invaluable to art historians, students of medieval painting and civilization, and historians of culture. Although it contains few fully developed recipes, it will interest any practicing artist with its discussion of methods of brightening colors and assuring permanence.

Download or read book Fresco Painting written by James Ward and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.
