The bright, natural white of our lime putty, free from pigments or additives. This pure white serves as the foundation for a wide range of luminous colours when combined with Artisan Stucco Pigments and our white sands, creating shades that truly catch the light.
An Artisan Stucco Fresco finish will differ in nothing from the walls that feature the famous fresco’s of Pompeii and the Sistine Chapel, apart from its age. Its smooth surface and soft shine echoes the atmosphere of palaces and temples of old and the facades of the streets of towns with ancient names.
The techniques of crafting this decorative plaster date back to the 16th century, and were by itself improvements of ancient Roman techniques described by Roman architect Vitruvius. Also known as Venetian Stucco, it consists of multiple layers of precise ingredients that are applied while wet on a suitable substrate like Artisan Stucco substrate mortar.
By choosing only the highest quality of natural ingredients and applying the mortar using techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries, this beautiful decorative plaster will prove to be very resistant to water and stains, radiating its beauty and brilliance for a very, very long time.
Combining Artisan Stucco Lime Putty our white marble sands and Fine Finish will result in a bright white smooth finish. A great variety of striking effects can be attained by using coloured lime or coloured and sparkling sands.

Available colours











Baroque White is a warm off-white with a hint of hazelnut, designed to replicate the original plaster tones of 16th-century palaces in Southern Spain. Made from naturally occurring earths, this colour brings a timeless, historic charm.
This is our take on the traditional Sienna, named after the Italian city. Made with natural raw Sienna earth, it produces a warm, reddish ochre in lime plasters. In Lime Wash and Kalei, the colour shifts toward the classic, time-honoured ochre hue.
Named after the famous palace overlooking the Spanish city of Granada, this warm, earthy shade shifts in intensity with the changing light. Its recipe was specifically developed during and for the restoration of the Alhambra Palace. In lime plasters and Kalei, the colour appears rich and warm, while in Lime paint, it takes on a softer, more subtle tone.
Coral Red is a warm, earthy deep red, perfect for making a statement while maintaining the grounded feel of natural tones. In a waterproof finish, it reveals a vivid rouge flame, while Lime paint and Kalei produce a softer, pinker hue.
A light bluish-grey made from iron oxide, this pearl grey has a unique character that shifts with the movement of the sun. At times, it takes on a subtle purplish hue, adding a touch of liveliness and playfulness to this typically neutral and understated colour.
Oxide Yellow is a rich, intense iron oxide ochre with a subtle brownish-orange hue. Traditionally seen on Andalusian facades, this vibrant colour adds warmth, brightness, and striking contrast to any space.
Oxide purple is shoft and subtle form of purple created with hematite also known as “caput mortum”. This very trational pigment creates a very light aubergine colour in the lime wash and kalei mixes, while it can provide with lively pink and purple shades to the flame of the fresco and the waterproof plasters due to it´s course particle.
Our Persian Red is crafted with the renowned Hormuz iron oxide red, one of the world’s finest natural pigments. With an exceptionally high 70% iron oxide content, Hormuz red has been the primary iron oxide pigment in the Middle East for centuries. Now, you can bring its rich, luxurious character into your plaster for a touch of timeless exoticism.
Chrome Green is a rich, warm, and vibrant shade with a subtle olive tint, made from pure Chrome Oxide pigment. Perfect for those who embrace bold, statement colours.
Iron Black is a deep, bluish-black shade made with a pure iron oxide pigment. Its subtle blue undertone adds depth and a refined, understated feel to interiors. In lime wash and Kalei finishes, the colour leans more towards dark grey than true black, requiring strong contrasts to achieve a black appearance.
* All our mortars and paints are also available in custom made colours.
