A fresco (plural frescoes) is a term for several related painting types. The word comes from the Italian phrase buon fresco ("really fresh"), a technical term in opposition to a secco ("on dry surface"). Buon fresco paintings were done on wet plaster, while a secco paintings were completed on dried plaster.
Technique
In painting a fresco, the surface of a plastered wall is divided into areas roughly corresponding to the contours of the figures or the landscape, generally drawn on a rough underlayer of plaster, called the arriccio. Many artists sketched their compositions on this underlayer, which would never be seen, in a red pigment called sinopia. From this pigment, the underdrawing acquired its name, the sinopia. On top of this first, rough layer of plaster, a second layer is added, called the intonaco. This is the final layer, and would be smoothed and perfected as the painting surface.
