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.
