First wall fresco

By Olivia Irvine 2017
This is my first fresco on an actual wall (as opposed to portable panels). It was created on the exterior brick wall of my studio building in Edinburgh. It is based on a drawing of my overgrown garden. Using the traditional buon fresco technique of pure pigment and water on a damp lime plaster, I painted it in four sections. Passers- by have described it as a portal into another world.
