thanx for answering, gary!
yes, i heard about these opinions, too - as well as from the
other side (the painter's opinion): you can't walk around a
painting... in that case i think that 180 degrees are at least
half a circle, and i've seen works of the renaissance, in which
famous painters played with that fact and painted details you
only can detect if you look from very aside of it.
perhaps 'colouring' sculptures is a better word for what i mean.
that includes the possibility of variing the intensity of the
color (like much color in the trays and less on the vaults) to
avoid this flatness effect.
but there's still the main question left: WHICH SORT OF COLOR
is the most appropiate for stone-colouring?
ulli, the lucky dog
