Fresco sits within the Mural & Mixed Media family of painting media. Fresco invites makers to study how surface, binder, and gesture shape atmosphere.

Artists appreciate that it is painted into wet plaster so color bonds with the wall. This material logic influences how light is absorbed, how textures build up, and how the viewer feels the work across a gallery wall or a digital canvas.

Art enthusiasts can trace precedents and compare techniques, designers and illustrators harvest references for client decks, educators structure lessons around the medium's evolution, and AI creators gain a trustworthy vocabulary for prompt engineering.
