The bright, natural white of our lime putty, free from pigments or additives. This pure white serves as the foundation for a wide range of luminous colours when combined with Artisan Stucco Pigments and our white sands, creating shades that truly catch the light.
Artisan Stucco lime mortars can be used for waterproof vertical surfaces in bathrooms, showers and toilets. The precise application technique of the multi-layered lime stucco system and waterproof finish combines a high water resistance with excellent breathability and elasticity.
Artisan Stucco waterproof lime stucco, based on the Fresco Finish, is waterproofed using natural materials and will provide your home with an unequalled natural elegance. Durable, with a bright radiance regardless of the colour you choose. This high quality mortar will remain as beautiful for decades as it was the first day with only a minimum of maintenance.
Combining Artisan Stucco Lime Putty our white marble sands and Fine Finish will result in a bright white smooth finish. A great variety of striking effects can be attained by using coloured lime or coloured and sparkling sands. The waterproofing will give a glossy shine to the plaster, enhancing the colour and flame of the natural materials.

WaterProof Stucco Layer System
The system consists of four layers of lime plaster.
Base Layer: On top of the prepared substrate, the Artisan Stucco Base Layer is applied to level out the wall and regulate moisture.
Floated Layer: When fully dried, a Floated Stucco in the desired colour is applied to the Base Layer.
Fresco Layer: While the Floated layer is still wet, a coloured Fresco layer is added by applying a thin coat of Fine Finish Paste, resulting in a perfectly smooth finish.
Waterproof Layer: While the Fresco layer is still wet, the plaster is polished with a thin layer of coloured WaterProof Paste. This results in a very smoot, shiny, waterproof finish. A layer of wax is applied when the plaster has dried, for a durable and easy to maintain surface.
Best suited for
- Vertical wet surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, showers and toilets
- Interior decoration and ecological building projects
- Spaces with high humidity like bathrooms or wellness rooms
- Good and affordable alternative for tiles, tadelact and natural stone
Available colours











Baroque White is a warm off-white with a hint of hazelnut, designed to replicate the original plaster tones of 16th-century palaces in Southern Spain. Made from naturally occurring earths, this colour brings a timeless, historic charm.
This is our take on the traditional Sienna, named after the Italian city. Made with natural raw Sienna earth, it produces a warm, reddish ochre in lime plasters. In Lime Wash and Kalei, the colour shifts toward the classic, time-honoured ochre hue.
Named after the famous palace overlooking the Spanish city of Granada, this warm, earthy shade shifts in intensity with the changing light. Its recipe was specifically developed during and for the restoration of the Alhambra Palace. In lime plasters and Kalei, the colour appears rich and warm, while in Lime paint, it takes on a softer, more subtle tone.
Coral Red is a warm, earthy deep red, perfect for making a statement while maintaining the grounded feel of natural tones. In a waterproof finish, it reveals a vivid rouge flame, while Lime paint and Kalei produce a softer, pinker hue.
A light bluish-grey made from iron oxide, this pearl grey has a unique character that shifts with the movement of the sun. At times, it takes on a subtle purplish hue, adding a touch of liveliness and playfulness to this typically neutral and understated colour.
Oxide Yellow is a rich, intense iron oxide ochre with a subtle brownish-orange hue. Traditionally seen on Andalusian facades, this vibrant colour adds warmth, brightness, and striking contrast to any space.
Oxide purple is shoft and subtle form of purple created with hematite also known as “caput mortum”. This very trational pigment creates a very light aubergine colour in the lime wash and kalei mixes, while it can provide with lively pink and purple shades to the flame of the fresco and the waterproof plasters due to it´s course particle.
Our Persian Red is crafted with the renowned Hormuz iron oxide red, one of the world’s finest natural pigments. With an exceptionally high 70% iron oxide content, Hormuz red has been the primary iron oxide pigment in the Middle East for centuries. Now, you can bring its rich, luxurious character into your plaster for a touch of timeless exoticism.
Chrome Green is a rich, warm, and vibrant shade with a subtle olive tint, made from pure Chrome Oxide pigment. Perfect for those who embrace bold, statement colours.
Iron Black is a deep, bluish-black shade made with a pure iron oxide pigment. Its subtle blue undertone adds depth and a refined, understated feel to interiors. In lime wash and Kalei finishes, the colour leans more towards dark grey than true black, requiring strong contrasts to achieve a black appearance.
* All our mortars and paints are also available in custom made colours.
