Glazing

An artist wrote to me and asked about glazing with transparent color. I glaze with both ols and acrylics. I use Permasol transparent oils and they work very well. I like to use a scumbling technique, using old brushes to scrub the transparent paint over dry areas in the underpainting. I use multiple layers of transparent paint to build up subtle colors. It gives a richness to the color which cannot be achieved with other methods. I often go back with Q-tips to rub off the glaze in some areas.

With acrylics I use a special glazing medium which makes acrylics even more transparent than they normally are.
