A Fresco is a technique of mural painting where water-based pigments are applied directly onto freshly laid, wet lime plaster. As the plaster dries and cures, a chemical reaction permanently bonds the pigment into the wall itself, making the artwork an integrated, long-lasting part of the architecture. E. G. Michelangelo's paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
In order to get the fresco effect on contemporary artwork Crackle Paste is used and the resultant painting is called 'Simulated Fresco' or 'Faux Fresco'.
