Interesting technique. Are there some similarities to the Venetian Plaster technique? (Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfGbryICt0A)

The primary difference is that "Venetian plaster" process is specifically intended to mimic the look of marble or stone and so the method doesn't really veer too far outside of that for materials or process.

These kind of artists seem to only use quartz or other "smooth" acrylic plasters and pigments that don't have the same structure and are generally thin and temporary (less than 20 years expected age) - so not limestone the same kind of lime aggregates like tadelakt which is what I use.

I'm attempting to make something that can last 2000+ years - somewhere between an oil painting and a marble sculpture.

Thanks for elaborating - that sounds really cool.
