In Ancient Greece, such drawings with water-based paint on a crude base( plaster) were also very popular. From the Greeks the art of fresco painting passed to the ancient Romans, they added sand to the lime plaster, and to the uppermost layer - marble chips. The primer was applied in seven layers, each of which was dried, and only the top was polished perfectly, after which, immediately, fresh, the artist began to create his masterpieces. The last layer of plaster was applied immediately before the drawing. The builders applied the last words of the soil only to an area that the artist would have painted in one day, otherwise the plaster dried up and it was impossible to draw frescos on it. The finishing touches of the drawing were applied by the artist after the main one has dried.
