Fresco  A fresco is a painting, ususally on a vertical surface, where pigment is 'painted' into wet plaster. The artist is under time constraints to finish the scene before the plaster dries. This technique was used on the walls and ceilings of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo to depict scenes of the Bible.
