Hello everyone! Today we're going to create using the Faux Fresco tutorial. I've never attempted this and when I looked at the gallery for the tutorial, it didn't look like many others had either. Most cards were dated in 2016 or earlier. Here is the tutorial:
The definition of 'fresco' is a painting done rapidly in watercolor on wet plaster on a wall or ceiling, so that the colors penetrate and become fixed as it dries. The Sistine Chapel ceiling is a fresco.
Some hints: be patient with this challenge; it was a challenge for me, although Anita and Sabrina had no problems with their samples. Use only white or buff acrylic paint; don't be tempted to try another. Whatever medium you use to color, make sure it's dry before applying the paint. Try to minimize the amount of paint on the colored parts; in other words, get most of the paint in the crevices, not on the colored parts if possible. I had the best luck if I didn't cover everything with a heavy coat.
Here's a link to our

My cards will be in the first post.
