[Woodcarver] Latest St. Joseph Carving

[Ivan Whillock]

Maura asks, "Can you please explain polychroming to me." 

Hi, Maura, 

It's just a term generally used in sculpture-and in other arts-meaning "multi-colored"   Monochroming is applying one color, (as in staining the wood with burnt umber, for example), and polychroming is applying many colors.  That's generally a bit more descriptive than saying, as is common in wood carving shows, that it's "painted." A painted statue need not be polychromed: it could be painted with only one color.  Also, the term is a bit more flexible for art description purposes:  polychroming (or monochroming, for that matter) can be done any number of ways, not just with paint.
