This is the second time I've come across your video for glazing... it's incredible. It's totally changed the way I paint. And YOURS is amazing looking! Thanks again!
This is the best explanation of how to and why use liquin that I've ever heard. Thank you so much. I'm teaching myself to paint by watching youtube videos and this helps so so much! Much appreciated!!!
OMG!!! Thank you! I think this is what my painting that I've been struggling with needs! I was wondering what I could do to add more atmospheric perspective to the painting without having to repaint!
Great insights, thanks, Layne. At 5:08, the lady wisely asked why glazing to change color instead of simply painting with the correct color from the beginning. Besides your textures answer, I believe these two points could be added: 1) Despite our best efforts, it's often difficult to match the exact color on the first try, requiring subtle and incremental adjustments to achieve the desired hue. 2) When multiple colors interact on a canvas, glazing can help organize the color harmonies without affecting the overall composition.
Both are excellent points. When I'm painting, I try not to stop and perfect things, knowing I can do that at the later stages of adjustment. Get it close then move on. One of the reasons so many people don't finish paintings is they get hung up trying to perfect an element instead of seeing the whole. It's kind of like in writing - don't get hung up editing in the middle of a first draft. Know what I mean?
A beautiful technique, and you demonstrated it well and clearly. Many thanks. I did attempt glazing long ago to an oil sketch and was nearly shocked by how effective it is. At that time, what was recommended was the colour, turp and a varnish in the mix, but that was many years ago. Your recipe is obviously a better choice for so many reasons I can now see. 👍
This is so timely for me. I have a pochade that’s going into a show with my plen air group next week. I wanted to try to add more depth and pop in some zinger highlights. Thanks Layne!
Is there a certain amount of time you have to wait after doing a previous layer to do your glaze? One person said you have to do it within a month or after a year.
Where do you find your mediums in a squeeze bottle or do you make them? My Liquid always gets hard before I get to the middle of it even though I close it immediately after putting some on my palette.
Excellent information. I have seen various reports on zinc white being archival and not archival, what is your opinion on the paint and have you had any problems using zinc white? Thank you.
Thank you! 🙏 To be honest, I pretty much use just Titanium White. So I don't really know that much about the other whites. I know one of the frustrating things about art is there is so much conflicting information.
This is an oil paint i never paint in oils, i do acrilics so i suppose we can not use the same medium for acrylic paint. I would like to know, thank you so much for this demostration.
I believe there are acrylic glazing mediums you can use for this. Though you can just thin the paint with water, I don't recommend it. You are taking a chance of creating a weak paint bond. Again, stick with medium.
GRAZIE. Perfetto il suggerimento di usarlo solo alla fine (anche sei io lo uso un po anche nella pittura di fondo. E' un peccato veniale?). Ma prevalentemente lo uso alla fine per dare delle velature all'acqua del mare.
You're very welcome! I'd say it's not a huge deal in the beginning but I generally don't create a detailed underpainting. Just watch the Fat over Lean rule. 🙏
Your base paint must be TOTALLY dry before you glaze over it. Don't rush. The painting will decide when you can proceed with the glazing layers. Avoid opaque paints when glazing over your underpainting. You want your lights to glow from within. Pthalo blues and greens, thio violets are good examples of transparent colors that work very well.

You're very welcome!

Hey Rhonda 👋 You're very welcome!
That was really well explained! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
I have a painting that needs adjustment and I had not thought of a glaze. Thanks for the helpful reminder.
You're very welcome!
Thanks for this video. Very informative - simple, and a well-scaffolded lesson.
Thanks very much!
Is there a certain amount of time you have to wait after doing a previous layer to do your glaze? One person said you have to do it within a month or after a year.
Thank you. So do you glaze after the painting is good and dry ?
Great video, informative
Thank you!
Where do you find your mediums in a squeeze bottle or do you make them? My Liquid always gets hard before I get to the middle of it even though I close it immediately after putting some on my palette.
I’d love to know what palette you’re using :) please and thank you
Thank you so much
Glad you found it helpful!

In this instance you’d use water :)

Every time I've used a glaze it's totally clouded up and ruined my painting
That's odd, I've never had that happen. Mediums don't typically go cloudy. Unless you're using white or some other opaque paint.
Your base paint must be TOTALLY dry before you glaze over it. Don't rush. The painting will decide when you can proceed with the glazing layers.
Avoid opaque paints when glazing over your underpainting. You want your lights to glow from within. Pthalo blues and greens, thio violets are good examples of transparent colors that work very well.
