More on Glazing
There are various mediums used to enhance the glazing process. One of my favorite companies for mediums is www.studioproducts.com This company has very high quality products of all kinds related to mediums and solvents as well as hand made paints.
One of the traditional methods for indirect painting involves doing an underpainting in monotone called a grisaille.
Grisaille
Grisaille was originated in Renaissance times and was used intensively in the Baroque. It is a technique for figure compositions or still life with no prior preparations or very little. The artist sketches directly on the canvas with thin layers of paint washes. Few colors are used and basically fast drying ones. With these washes it is possible to create the whole composition without making the canvas over-loaded with paint. Corrections are easy to do and all changes are done on the canvas. Then under painting is used for final colors to be as sound as possible. I have found it to be an excellent study technique in the studio, particularly combined with glazing with transparent oil colors.
I have used this method on location to do the underpainting and then gone into the studio for the glazing process.
