Beautiful sky it looks like the Old Masters choice of Skies... thank you for this video on glazing , really enjoyable... I'm so glad I've stumbled on your Channel. Keep them coming 🤥❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful tips. I'm transitioning from a watercolor painter to oils. I can use all the help I can get! I wish you taught classes near me. You explain things so clearly. Thank you.
Yes. I’m picking up raw paint on my palette. It’s standard oil paint but good quality, as you want a paint with strong pigmentation. Then you can work with very fine transparent glazes. The paint is thinned using W&N Liquin. Or you can use a classical mix of oil and turps.
Thank you Nial this is very helpful. I have been interested in glazing for a long time. How long does it take for each layer to dry before you apply another layer?
My pleasure Kay. Drying time for each layer will depend upon a number of factors: the medium you choose, how thickly you glaze, how much paint you use (which contains oil) and also external factors, like how warm your studio space is. In short, ensure the surface feels fully dry before glazing. This will avoid the risk of dissolving the layer below. N
@@pjjmsn the green would have been produced by Ultramarine Blue and Indian Yellow. I always tend to mix my greens. But you could also use Pthalo Green toned down with Transparent Oxide Red. N
@@NialAdams Thanks Niel! As it would have it, I just bought some indian yellow a couple of days ago but haven't used it yet. I am looking forward to using it in both mixed greens and on it's own. It kind of looks a little like yellow ochre on the tube but I assume it is a lot brighter and more powerful. I just subscribed. Great work!
Yes Daniel, Turner tended to work on a light canvas, adding successive darks, just as he would have worked in Watercolour. Layers of glazes would then increase the darks and shift the colours. Lighter elements were then added, sometimes called a Scumble. This is a long and layered way of creating an oil painting. The very opposite to Alla Prima. Well spotted!
Mark, sorry for the very slow reply! Unfortunately I don’t. I have tried teaching online (via Zoom) and it doesn’t really work. Just too hard to see all those small subtleties when mixing colours, etc.
Thanks. I’ve tried to increase the sound on the latest video but will be mindful of this. I’m not a professional UA-camr, so only generally record direct from my iPhone.
It’s a beautiful painting. The video would be much more educational and helpful to aspiring young artists if he actually show the ingredients and the mixture before he just dab it on canvas. Really doesn’t help you understand how to do glazing properly because you need to know how to mix it Proportions of medium grade paint. These are questions that he doesn’t even come close to answering.
I wish I could say something good , but I think you just like to here yourself talk, you could have said everything you said in a few sentences , you spent the whole video talking. If you just did and let people see it , no explanation is needed. Besides you need to learn how to do it before you try to teach it, dont really think you have a full grasp of the concept, your painting looked the same before as it did after.
You know it amazes me just how rude some people can be in comments. But I guess that’s what it’s like these days. You’re obviously an expert so I can’t possibly imagine why you bothered to even watch my video.
Please come back to UA-cam! Your videos are what I’ve been searching for ❤ thank you so much!

Thank you for this explanation and example! Beautiful!!!

Wow - First to be here - cheers for the instruction - still learning in my 70th year - Fell in love with Turner then Constable and Lowery -
Thank you David. As my father taught me, “Life is short and Art is long”. We never stop learning. Glad you found it useful. N
Q; Are you making the glaze with the original mixture of paint on your pallet?
Yes. I’m picking up raw paint on my palette. It’s standard oil paint but good quality, as you want a paint with strong pigmentation. Then you can work with very fine transparent glazes. The paint is thinned using W&N Liquin. Or you can use a classical mix of oil and turps.
Thank you for sharing Sir. Would be wonderful to see this from start to end. Magnificent painting.
You’re most welcome Peter. I will endeavour to produce a full video of a start to finish! N
Прекрасная живопись в стиле Тёрнера. замечательный художник
I really love your work and can’t wait to see the next stage of it!
Many thanks Anne. I hope to be uploading more soon!
This is so exciting to watch!
Wow-beautiful painting🧡💛💚💙
Many thanks!
This was so useful to see glazing certain areas with different colors and how colors transition earth to sky. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you so much for taking the time, to show some of your thought processes :)
Lovely painting, reminds me of Turners style.
Great video Nial and yes I’d love to see a start to finish! Thanks for sharing your paintings a thoughts!
Really found your channel and videos helpful. Great creative work and talent.
I am interested in your explanations, you convey your ideas well. Thank you for the insight.
And now that we have liquin original it’s not that miserable of a process . The masters would’ve loved liquin.
beautiful
Are there anymore videos coming up?...i absolutely love your paintings and style..remind me of turner paintings..
Thank you great video. Can you get closer to painting in future? I have subscribed sir.
❤❤❤

Very good
Thank you this is good .
What transparent colours did you use for the glazing please???
For glazing I use Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Indian Yellow, as well as a few others like Transparent Oxide Red, VanDyke Brown, etc. N 🎨
@@NialAdams I am curious what color green you used to glaze the bottom area? I love the piece!

It's very Turner-ish, beautiful, is this what Turner did with his paintings? His stuff never strikes me as alla prima
Yes Daniel, Turner tended to work on a light canvas, adding successive darks, just as he would have worked in Watercolour. Layers of glazes would then increase the darks and shift the colours. Lighter elements were then added, sometimes called a Scumble. This is a long and layered way of creating an oil painting. The very opposite to Alla Prima. Well spotted!
Do you mix the colors on the canvas or on the palett ?
Both. But mainly on the palette.
Do you go from light to dark with arcylics
Yes, especially if working with opaque paints.
Hello Nial, Do you teach online or do you have any instruction dvd ? Your work is very Turner-ish.
Mark, sorry for the very slow reply! Unfortunately I don’t. I have tried teaching online (via Zoom) and it doesn’t really work. Just too hard to see all those small subtleties when mixing colours, etc.
Your voice recording was very very soft and distant. Please check your recording

I appreciate the compliment Bob. But please read the notes that I’ve added to this video.

Way too much talking, not nearly enough actual doing......
The video is offered as an explanation. I do also offer private lessons and courses.
Nothing special with glazing !
