Question
One artist added mica powder to this technique so his paintings of “beautiful” women viewing themselves in mirrors would sparkle. In the 1700s, colorful “brocade pictures” using this technique depicted newspaper scenes. Small rectangles appeared on a “key” object used in this technique to line up colors. An artwork created through this technique depicts the dark peak of a mountain by fading (*) Prussian blue dyes. A disc-like tool called a baren is pressed against washi paper in a style of this technique called mokuhanga. Ukiyo-e artworks like Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji were made using, for 10 points, what technique in which a design is chiseled into a namesake material then pressed into an artwork? ■END■
