Murals

Mural conservation 

Murals/Wall paintings are constructed using many different techniques such as:

  • Oil on plaster
  • Oil on canvas attached to a wall
  • Tempera on plaster
  • Fresco

The first step is to schedule an onsite examination to determine how the painting was constructed, what has happened to it over the years, and to devise a treatment plan to better preserve the painting for the future.
