What is a Mural or Fresco Brush? Mural or fresco painting dates back at least thirty millennia (yes, 30,000 years) when our ancestors used this style of painting to create unique décor on the interior of their cave dwellings. Perhaps the most notable fresco in the world can be found on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican in Rome. Whether you are looking to recreate this type of masterpiece in your own home, or you want to do something on a slightly smaller scale, you’ll need a fresco or mural brush.
