English term

grisaille

Non-PRO English to Spanish Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Though this term is technically in French, it has been adopted into the artistic lexicon in English as is. Is that also the case in Spanish? Or is there a Spanish term for this, which means "decoration in tones of a single color, esp. gray, designed to produce a three-dimensional effect"?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Peer comment(s):

agree MitsukoD : Exacto. Grisalla es el equivalente exacto de la acepción en inglés: "a style of painting, esp. on glass, in monochrome, usually using only gray tints and giving the effect of sculpture in relief" (Webster's).
