Decorative Artisan Product of the Month Bella FrescoBella Fresco™

The unique properties of Bella Fresco™ are different from normal slow drying acrylics that allow more working time for applying thin glazes and blending color.  This is a modern and elegant professional product for decorating walls.

A special feature of Bella Fresco™ is its changing chromatic effect.  Bella Fresco™ is suitable for all surfaces, harmless to the environment, durable and washable.

Bella Fresco™ can be worked over your 'under' painting such as murals, frescos and stencils.  Use it for rich, transparent coloring. By mixing Bella Fresco™ with your glaze of choice you can obtain varying working times. This product is good for both interior and exterior color washing. It is especially suitable for public areas, such as schools, hospitals and offices. 

It is best to work Bella Fresco™ over 100% acrylic paint and not latex and at least an eggshell level of shine.   Not recommended to apply over a flat surface.

Bella Fresco™ can be tinted with either UTC’s or paint and or mica powders.   Bella Fresco™ takes very little colorant to obtain the depth of color desired.

Deep saturation and depth are accomplished with multiple layers of Bella Fresco™.  Each layer develops a richer and richer color.

Bella Fresco™ can be thinned with water.  Clean up with hot water.

Bella Fresco™ is available as follows:
IRI Gold, IRI Silver, Pearl, White and Clear Satin.  You can obtain a Clear Flat by adding 16oz. of special flattening agent to a gallon of Clear Satin.

We also add Bella Fresco™ to Metallic Plasters as a rate of  one quart to a gallon, this gives more open time and also adds to the over all durability.

Bella Fresco™ can be purchase from our store.
