Helpful Tips
There are two types of painting: a dry method of applying paint and painting on a damp plaster. Wall painting "on dry" is called Alsekko, and painting on raw plaster Alfresco. For a dry method of painting, use paints mixed with water, glutinous base and yolks of raw eggs. This painting is more resistant to contamination and dampness, so it is used for painting the outside. In the composition of the paint on the raw plaster: lime, sand, egg whites and yolks, vegetable oils, natural colors, brick crumbs, flax and hemp.
Painting on raw plaster with own hands, step-by-step technology
The technology of painting on raw plaster supports the natural properties of lime in the course of drying to pass from a liquid state to a colloidal-crystalline substance. What is the essence of the painting? Lime, being the backbone of the plaster background, is extinguished by water during the reaction, while absorbing the applied paint in the created layer.
Therefore, the humidification of the wall when painting is required.
how to make a list with your own hands
The technological cycle of painting consists of stages:
• Specific surface preparation
• application of plaster layers with mandatory drying of the previous layer
• Preparation of drawing for painting and drawing it on the surface
• painting with paints.
The technology of painting on wet plaster is multilayered. The number of layers applied is from 4 to 7. The preparation of the walls for the subsequent painting is given special attention.
selecting the location of the picture
The future drawing is preferable to place on a free wall. It does not hurt to make a preliminary sketch placement with the specified size of the picture relative to the height of the wall. The layout of the picture is possible in a niche and in the piers next to the door or window. Natural lighting of the future fresco is welcomed.
preparation of walls for painting
To be frank, the wall prepared for painting must have an unsightly appearance: shallow slits, potholes with torn edges and grooves. All this is necessary for good adhesion of the applied layers to the substrate. The wall is spoiled with the use of a perforator and a hammer.
plaster coating
A solution of plaster under the painting is prepared using brick crumbs and lime. For the preparation of plaster add lime and quench with a large amount of water until the reaction ceases.
Composition of plaster:
• base layer - 1 part lime, 3 parts filler,
• the face layer - 1 part of lime, 2.2 parts of filler.
The first layer is applied in a thickness of 2 to 4 cm without grouting, leaving rough irregularities on the surface. The first layers are primers, so their thickness is higher. Drying of the primer layer is from 12 days. The subsequent layers are finer.
After the final drying of all layers, the last face layer is moistened and begins to perform painting.
Helpful Tips
Priming layer for better adhesion to the wall must be sealed. To do this, you can use dense flat objects that lightly tap the applied layer during the drying process. Then, before creating the next layer, apply shallow vertical and horizontal lines. The last layer should have a thickness of 1 to 3 mm and contain sifted quartz sand.
drawing for painting
For beginners, it is recommended to select a pattern for painting using a simple one using several colors. It can be a small ornament with pronounced shadows and penumbraes. Without even noticing, you will learn the technique of en grisaille.
Gradually, complicating the picture, you can go to the "bouquet in the scatter" and pictures with perspective.
The selected pattern is applied to the wall by the mowing method.
The prepared drawing on paper is cut into separate fragments, the same in size and designed for a single session of painting. The contour of the sketch is transferred to the freshly applied plaster using a needle by extrusion or piercing.
You can create a contour of the picture on the wall using a diaprojector or an epidiascopic.

application of paint
Before the beginning of the application of the paint, the axial line (equilibrium line) is determined in the figure on the wall. The first swing stroke with carpal writing on the plane begins with large elements and colors. Then gradually move to the smaller elements of the pattern.
The peculiarity of the technique of applying paint on the raw plaster is in the initial application of a light paint, then the paint is a medium of shades and the darkest. As the light tone is applied to a darker tone, the paint is absorbed into the fresh plaster layer and fades slightly. Therefore, after the first application of the paint, it is necessary to go through the pattern and paint it with dark colors, then with medium tones and at the end of the painting bright.
The next stage of applying the paint is light modeling: tone and shadow. The technique of modeling consists in revealing the background of a drawing or ornament, creating falling shadows and a substrate. The laying of the basic tones creates a density of the pattern. The next stage is the process of underpainting and glazing.
At the stage of underpainting, the pattern dynamics is brightened and accentuated by means of a light scattering layer. At the end of the process of painting the fragment "over the wet" make a glare and drawing (drawing).
The transition from each part of the mural to the edge of the unfilled fragment is neatly cut off with a knife and smoothed until the seam disappears. The new fragment is repeated the same as the previous one.
