Hi Everyone,

I hope I do not break any forum rules by posting this announcement:

Fresco School Announces New Video Set - "Buon Fresco Foundations"
Los Angeles based Fresco Painting School (FrescoSchool.org) is proud to announce the release of its first full length DVD Video Tutorial.

Fresco School is proud to announce the official release of the DVD Tutorial - "FRESCO PLASTER" from their "BUON FRESCO FOUNDATIONS" video set.

"Buon Fresco Foundations" - Fresco Plaster DVD video introduces the student to foundational principles and techniques of the preparation and application of slaked lime plaster for True (Buon) Fresco Painting. Topics illustrated include the step-by-step process of plaster preparation filmed in real time without omissions. A student will be able to see exactly how long each step takes and what tools and methods each requires. iLia Anossov (fresco) guides the student by a thorough and clear demonstration of the foundations of calcium fresco plastering relevant to any size fresco.

Volume 1 "FRESCO PLASTER" is the first video in the set of 5 full length (140min each) DVDs detailing the foundational principles of Fresco Painting. Volumes 2-5, "Fresco Cartoon", "Fresco Pigments & Paint", "Fresco Painting - Verdaccio" and "Fresco Painting - Color" are planned to be released the end of the first quarter of 2009.

"Our goal is to have Frescoes being painted in every town! By very modest estimate this will take at least 10,000 artists a lifetime to accomplish."
iLia Anossov (fresco)

Fresco School was established in 1997 in Los Angeles by fresco artist iLia Anossov (fresco). Hundreds of students have attended their workshops enrolling from US, Canada, Europe. Fresco School is the only Art School that offers ongoing fresco curriculum throughout the calendar year. Their buon fresco programs have traveled to many US cities.

Curriculum is focused on the traditional buon (true) fresco technique. Fresco School offers a full spectrum of boun fresco workshops and classes from introductory level lessons to advanced fresco programs and private fresco tutoring. The curriculum also includes supplemental fresco restoration, mural painting seminars and fresco demos.

Fresco School programs and seminars are taught by highly accredited working professional artists and craftsmen. Fresco programs are lead by iLia Anossov (fresco painting) and Ian Hardwick (fresco plaster). Supplemental seminars are conducted by Nathan Zakheim (fresco restoration) and Kent Twitchell (large scale murals).

Boun Fresco Foundations Video Set is a part of "Introduction to True (Buon) Fresco Painting Series" produced for the Fresco School by Fresco School Productions Inc., published and distributed by Fresco School Press.

ilia, it is great that you posted this here, thanks!

I can attest to the fabulous education I got when I took iLia's entry level class. It is so great to learn TRUE fresco techniques.

PLus, rousing political discussions free for the asking with an extremely intelligent man.

Thank you Surfempress.

The fresco revival will take some time and many brands will change. To remain current 10-100-1000- Shocked

etc years from now I specifically focus on as you nicely put, real tools and supplies.

There are great number of materials sold by current manufacturers that are suitable for fresco and after watching the videos you will be able to choose-and-use with "educated confidence" now and a 100 years from now.
