Fresco Technique

- The ceiling is one enormous "fresco" - a painting created by applying pigments to fresh plaster.
Some historians believe that Michelangelo's expertise as a sculptor explains his mastery of the figurative fresco. To create a sculpture of the human form, one must pre-visualize in three dimensions. Michelangelo clearly brought this ability to bear when he created the enormous figures that adorn the ceiling. To correct for the ceiling's curves Michelangelo needed to draw figures that would have seemed "wrong" if he had painted them on a flat surface.
Mastery of three dimensions goes some way towards explaining Michelangelo's achievement but the original question remains: How did he paint such an enormous ceiling in just four years? We'll gladly share the answer... but not here.
To discover the answer we invite to watch Museum Secrets: Inside the Vatican Museums.

Incredible work
Does anyone know where I can get large sheets of that flesh toned paper to transfer cartoons into large canvases? It’s the one they are pouncing with at the end of the video with the Michelangelo transfer of Adam
