Question

in the buon fresco technique, paint (made from pigment and water) is applied to what type of surface?

multiple choice

wet lime plaster
stone sculpture
wood panels
canvas

Explanation:

Define buon fresco technique

The term "buon fresco" translates from Italian to "true fresco," which is a traditional wall painting technique.

Identify the painting surface

In this technique, alkaline-resistant pigments ground in water are applied directly onto freshly laid, wet lime plaster.

Determine the correct option

As the plaster dries, a chemical reaction binds the pigment particles into the plaster matrix, making the painting an integral part of the wall. This matches the option "wet lime plaster."

Answer:

• wet lime plaster (Correct answer)
• stone sculpture
• wood panels
• canvas
