Encaustic and Fresco
The phrase 'al fresco' is Italian for 'in the freshness, in the open air', and refers to a style of painting outdoors everyday scenes that take place outside.
I suppose if you were doing a faux fresco you could use tempera paint, but this wouldn't be done using plaster but on paper in the same style. On plaster I don't think the tempera would work.
Just about all styles that I can think of require wet paint. If you are asking about painting directly into wet plaster, it is the art of the fresco.
The difference between Fresco and Mural painting lie in the use of different media. Fresco, which uses watercolor on wet plaster, allows for a more durable work, which dries more slowly than a Mural. Murals are painted only on already dried surfaces, making it a far more rigid work than Fresco.
The paintings in the Sistine Chapel are frescoes. Pigment was mixed with wet plaster directly on the wall or ceiling.A Fresco painting, from the Italian word affrescowhich derives from the adjective fresco ("fresh"), describes a method, where the paint is applied on plaster on walls or ceilings. The Buon fresco technique consists of painting in pigment mixed with water on a thin layer of wet, fresh,lime mortar or plaster.
If you mean Leonardo's painting it used the perspective, an invention which was then about 80 years old. Leonardo also invented some new paint to use here. It was a disaster and has deteriorated horribly.
