wet plaster

Fresh wall coating

Wet plaster is plaster that hasn't yet dried or cured, still soft and workable.

In construction, it's the state before walls harden.

In art, wet plaster is essential to fresco painting, where pigments are applied while the surface is still damp so colors bond permanently as it dries: The artist worked quickly on the wet plaster before it set.
