Roman Painting Frescos Designs Materials Tools Methods Etc.

[Restitvtvs]

I added Roman painting/frescos to my [very short] hobby list.

To start learning, I took a watercolor painting short course last summer; and bought Ling's "Roman Painting", Lavins' "Fresco Painting", and Hocombe's "The Place of Narrative".

Web searches yielded some good painting & fresco websites:

I would appreciate your recommendations for good In-Print Roman painting & fresco methods/tools/materials books and websites. [Edit: German, Dutch, French, Spanish & Italian books & websites are good for me. I can struggle with other languages.]

Best regards, +r

The Sinopia folks in San Francisco have a page on fresco painting and naturally, the supplies to go along with it.

I'm a bit confused how this relates to Re-enactment & reconstruction?
