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



Hi Ivan,  thanks for the answer.  Was just wondering if you  were doing 
something I'm not familiar with.  Your statue is exquisite as  usual.  I personally 
appreciate the step by step.
