Vincent TRIPARD. Ochres and Lime Finishes: Decorative Plasters, Stucco, Tadelakt. [33169]
Edisud, 2003, in/4 publisher’s binding, 109 pages. Colour photographs.
“Following the success of his previous book, *Ocres: Decorative Paints in Provence*, Vincent Tripard now guides his readers through the use of lime and plaster coatings. Designed as a companion to the first book, the author introduces new techniques for personalising our interiors, enhancing our interior wall finishes, and creating special effects – for example, by learning the art of trompe l’oeil with faux stone or the art of tadelakt. Indeed, the variety of Provençal sands, lime, mineral powders and coloured earths used in the composition of these plasters offers a multitude of decorative options, both in terms of the appearance of the materials and the finishes themselves. Stucco is the art of working and shaping mortars made of lime, plaster and mixtures of plaster and lime to achieve finishes that can resemble marble, cut stone, brickwork or tiled surfaces. It is also used to create mouldings, bas-reliefs, plasterwork, decorative matt or gloss finishes, engraved or carved renderings, and fresco-style paintings or colours. Within the vast field of stucco techniques, it is specifically the painter’s perspective that the author wishes to present here. Stucco has its own colours, which are those of the earth, and working with these colours represents ‘another way of painting’. Drawing on samples, decorative panels and examples from building sites, he describes various methods for applying colours in plaster finishes, from the simplest to the most elaborate. This offers an opportunity to rediscover a range of techniques within the reach of any dedicated amateur.”
