Renaissance Art & Engineering, Friday, September 22, 2022
"We don't want this class to be only lectures," Steve said with a quick smile, "so today we'll let you try your hand at some of the techniques we talked about last week from the early Renaissance."
"Frescos," Tony said, moving to the side to reveal plaster walls they'd rigged up for the class to practice on. "Which were most notably a product of the Italian renaissance."
"We're certainly not expecting you to recreate the Sistine Chapel," Steve said with another smile, "but it's fun to try out the two different styles of fresco painting--one on dry plaster and the other--much more difficult--to paint on wet plaster."
"The dry plaster allows for a much more vibrant color, but is prone to fading over time," Tony added. "While the wet plaster and paint have a chemical reaction that keeps the painting from fading in that way, though the colors are a bit more muted."
Steve loved how geeked-out Tony got about the science of art.
"Start with something simple if you're trying the wet-on-wet," Steve said, nodding, "because once it dries, the only way to fix it is to chop it off, make new plaster, and start again."

But she was just playing with colors for now and not trying to paint any recognizable shapes.
