Definiția și Sensul lui "camaieu"

What is "camaïeu"?

Camaïeu is a technique where an artwork is made using just one color or different shades of that color. Instead of using many colors, artists use light and dark versions of the same color to show depth and contrast. This approach creates a balanced and elegant image that highlights shapes and textures. Camaïeu is often used to create a unified look in paintings and drawings, focusing on the details of the single color.
