		To paint "en grisaille" is to paint in a limited palette: high-key (that is, light in value) and monochrome (that is, all one colour, usually gray).
		Grisaille is most commonly used as an underpainting (a foundation layer of the painting that will be covered and altered by subsequent layers of paint).
		By the way, that's why a grisaille is typically done with high-key (light-valued) paints: so that the glazes added later will be visible.

	WetCanvas! - Grisaille still life
		05-27-2003, 11:56 AM In a recent thread (http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?s=andpostid=1235641#post1235641) on the colour theory forum, there was a question about the grisaille technique (a way of painting by establishing the tones of the painting using shades of grey and then adding the colours by means of thin glazes afterwards) and how it would work in acrylics.
		I'm not sure what the term grisaille historically meant - whether it was the coloured glazing over a grey underpainting like I used here, or a painting using a subdued palette of coloured greys mixed from complementaries, as (I think) you're talking about.
		Larry (and everyone else), I've submitted a project application for a grisaille project which should be appearing in the colour theory forum soon if the moderators are happy with it.

		The use of the French word can be traced only to 1625, since although grisaille painting was done in preceding centuries, it was not referred to as such.
		At the time of its origin, in the medieval period, grisaille painting was simply called painting in fl and white’, as is clear, for example, from an entry in the inventories of Jean de France, Duc de Berry, of 1401, 1413 and 1416: ‘Item, unes petites heures de Nostre Dame...enluminées de blanc et de noir’.
		However, this description is not very precise, as grisaille painting was never merely fl and white at that time but was always combined with (more or less sparingly used) colours.

		Grisaille means (roughly) "grey-ness." In enameling it's an underpainting technique, in which you are creating a monochrome look, using a fl background with a buildup of white overlays.
		A contemporary painter I am fond of, Chen Bolan, uses grisaille technique extensively in his work (though he incorporates other colors as well).
		She incorporates foils into her grisaille work, and she uses color instead of just fl and white, but if you get a chance to look at her work it's a must-see.
