Dolphin Fresco is a fine example of combining Ancient Pompeian Fresco method, when colored Intonaco Plaster was used to achieve uniformity of background color, Early Mediterranean laconic imagery design and Renaissance style of verdaccio underpainting is used to create a new interpretation of Classic Theme seamlessly integrated into contemporary setting.
 

The base sea color and final "Intonaco Skim" are almost completed.

It seems like Pompeian method of Fresco Painting was lost together with the City itself, however certain elements in the postmodern art may lead to it's  reincarnation within contemporary fresco.
