Painting in wet plaster is commonly referred to as "fresco painting." Fresco is a painting technique that involves applying pigments onto wet or freshly laid lime plaster. As the plaster dries and hardens, the pigments become an integral part of the wall or surface, creating a durable and long-lasting artwork.
Fresco painting has a long history and has been used in various cultures throughout the centuries. It is particularly associated with the art of ancient civilizations, such as the frescoes found in Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as with the Italian Renaissance, where artists like Michelangelo and Raphael employed the technique.
To create a fresco painting, the artist typically prepares the wall by applying a series of plaster layers onto a surface, such as a wall or a panel. Each layer is applied while wet, with the final layer being the fresco intonaco, which is the thin layer of plaster onto which the pigments will be applied.
The artist then applies pigments mixed with water directly onto the wet intonaco. As the pigments combine with the wet plaster, a chemical reaction occurs, causing the pigments to become embedded and bond with the surface. This results in a vibrant and long-lasting painting.
Fresco painting requires a skilled and efficient approach since the artist must work swiftly before the plaster dries. Due to the technical challenges involved, fresco painting is often planned meticulously beforehand, with detailed preliminary drawings known as "Cartoons" or "sinopie."
Fresco painting allows for a unique luminosity and a distinctive matte finish. It has been used to create monumental wall paintings, decorative murals, and religious art throughout history. Today, while the traditional fresco technique is still practiced, artists may also employ contemporary variations and adaptations of the process.
Affresco ( In English usage, "fresco" ). Painting done on freshly laid wet plaster with pigments dissolved in lime water. As both dry they become completely integrated. In true fresco the artist must start applying his colors on the wet (or fresco) intonaco as soon as it has been prepared and laid on the wall. The colors can thus be absorbed by the wet plaster. When it dries and hardens, the colors become one with plaster.
A painting made on wet plaster is called a fresco.

I think the word you are looking for is Fresco painting. However, traditonal fresco painting is done with oils, not watercolors...the watercolors can damage the plaster. Oils don't have the same properties that watercolors do and won't spread like watercolors in plaster.

It is a fresco made of dry plaster, a method of painting on plaster that is dried first and painted on later. Comparing this to the Minoan method of painting on wet plaster, this method did not do well in preserving the fresco as the fresco would fall off with the dry plaster if it cracks.The wet plaster made it easier for the paint to be absorbed as depicted in the Minoan artwork, the Bull Leaping scene, found in Knossos.
