Jennifer Carrasco demonstrates Venetian plaster and Venetian paint techniques. In her "Murals on Marmorino" class students work to produce at least three beautiful samples of decorative frescos.... one lyrical landscape based on a section of a Roman fresco in Herculaeum, one bas-relief Roman mosaic border applied in a two-step stencil technique, and decorative Roman motifs pounced, then painted in grisaille and glazed on a Marmorino panel.



The class covered a quick review of color theory, historical styles and motifs with an emphasis on the frescos of Herculeaum and Pompeii, the uses of acrylics with new and traditional glazing mediums, the application of final glazes and finishes, methods of framing in large murals, approaches for the business end of mural making and a thirty minute review of each student's portfolio.
