Fresco-secco

Fresco-secco (or a secco or fresco finto) is a wall painting technique where pigments mixed with an organic binder and/or lime are applied onto dry plaster.

In Italy, the fresco technique was reintroduced around 1300 and led to an increase in the general quality of mural painting.

According to this text, a picture should be painted with appropriate colours, along with proper forms and sentiments (rasas), and moods and actions (bhavas).

White, yellow, red, black and terre verte are pointed out in the text as pure colors.

[3] Specialist painters and decorators still use this technique to great effect in the world of interior design e.g. faux marble.
