Quick Tip 178 - Transparencies and Glazings

Artist/Art Teacher Dianne Mize addresses two questions in this weeks Quick Tip. One quick tip on the different paint transparencies and one quick tip on using glazings.

[@karenhoward303]

Your depth of knowledge is amazing! So generous of you to share it with us. Your art students must have loved you!!!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks for that, Karen.

[@elizabethshannon24]

Super stuff! Thanks again and again and again.

[@borealiswan2363]

Thanks Dianne, the best demo of what glazes do, the best description of what they are useful for. I've had teachers, graduates from the NY academy, who weren't able to explain this process nearly as clearly as you demonstrate in this by now 'longer' tip. In fact, theirs was confusing intellectual mumbojumbo. You've got the pedagogy, the skill to present complexity as cohesive. Wish I could hit 10 thumbs up !! 💃👍👍👍🙌high 10 !

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Wow! Thanks for that. I like "high 10"!

[@tracyhickman1359]

Montreal Artlive SO AGREE!!

[@sunbee33]

yes, I second your praise for Dianne.

[@debbiejohnson2789]

I learned nothing at university from any teachers. I have learned more from Dianne in a short time than all the years I spent there. I learned from other colleagues than from anyone.
She is so nice to give these lessons.

[@borealiswan2363]

@@debbiejohnson2789 Yes, definitely one of the best on YT, concise yet clear

[@AzureSymbiote]

The final tip regarding opaque light dispersing via glaze... I had never thought of that. Thank you.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You are so welcome!

[@CHARICEFAVORITES]

Diane: Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge/experience with us all. I have so much to learn and you are the best source of information I have found. Please know how much I appreciate what you do. How very kind of you.

[@kevinjones7777]

Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge, it is just as important to me to know how to apply paint as it is to know why different paints, brushes and mediums respond the way that they do.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Gracias por tu comentario.

[@kathycrocker3953]

Thank you so much for this tip. I would like to see the differences in using black. Black as a pure color vs. black that has been mixed.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Kathy, you might find it fun to do some experiments where you mix a bit of black into every tube color you work with just to observe the change it makes. The experiment is even richer when you create a value scale from each mixture.

[@amalitaangulo4770]

Thank you so much

You're most welcome

[@gerdavogel5287]

Thank you for your quick tips, Dianne. Yours is my go-to channel when I need a refresher or have to explain something I can’t quite remember. I love your phonetic spelling of ‘grisaille’ , but how many would have the slightest idea what that means or how to pronounce it? Must be a generational thing! Anyway, thank you.

[@senizmcmullen484]

Thanks Dianne, wonderful as always! I am wondering how, why and where to use glazing process at the of a finished oil painting in order to enhance the various aspects of the piece. Would you please comment on that topic.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Seniz, glazing is not always necessary, mostly if you're using the layering method like Bougeureau used is it a primary technique. Here is a link to an article that explains that: www.virtualartacademy.com/glazing-techniques-in-oil-painting/#When_are_glazing_techniques_in_oil_painting_used

[@gigiscottos]

Thank you Dianne, your wonderful. If learned so much from all your videos and full lessons. Can I ask, I've heard an artist say to use only linseed oil for glazing, is this advisable?
Can you Please tell me what is( the brush you used at 9:10) thanks

[@oldgamerchick]

Wowzer another awesome video. I'm in what we used say "in hog heaven" 😆. Thank you for another fantastic video on glazing and transparent colors.
Ms Michal I sign this way because I don't do much gaming Any more cause it's no fun without my running partner. Actually I'm into fossil and pretty rock hunting. 🙃☕🙏💖🇺🇸

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks for watching.

[@pepeaguilar2205]

Thank you very much for this and every tutorial. I glazed a painting with several coats of liquin original and ivory black and the surface ended up very glossy - is there anything I can do to remedy this? I did this before I saw this awesome tutorial...thank you again Ms. Mize...

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

I regret to tell you, but there's no remedy. Liquin does have its downside.

[@margaretsummers3712]

Hi, Dianne. I'm so glad I found your channel for all the great information. In this tip you talk about Gamsol and linseed oil as a glazing medium. In looking at linseed oils - which one should I use??? The one that is mixable with water, or does it matter? Thanks.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Margaret, never mix oil and water. Any artist grade refined linseed oil will work.

[@BJones-yw4dd]

Hi Dianne - I don't know if you will see this, as this is an old Q.T.
But I wanted to say two things: 1) THANK YOU for your generous sharing of your time and immense expertise here!
2) What say you to the (seemingly many) "serious" painters out there who loudly scorn the use of acrylic grounds under oils as "non-archival" and thus a 100% NO-GO??
I understand the wish and the use of so-called “best practices” to allow our paintings to "survive" as long as possible.
But I personally find such high-brow contempt for the common practice of painting with oils over gesso + acrylics unfair and overly “precious". In my book, to insist that my paintings must be pristinely preserved for many centuries is unrealistic & egotistical. No painting lasts forever and the so-called Masters generally had no idea that they would become famous centuries later either…. That’s just my two-cents’ worth.
What are your thoughts on the matter?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

To begin with, those who claim that acrylic grounds will not survive time are dead wrong. Historically, painters have experimented with all sorts of grounds. Many have survived over centuries, others (such as some Leonardo experimented with) started falling apart immediately. Science has brought painting materials a long way.
I object to any kind of dogma for the sake of itself. I do believe that we should use materials in such a way that our work holds together because we don't want it to fall apart once sold. But there's enough scientific information available to us today that informs us of what works and what doesn't work. For example, we know that acrylic painted over oil will not adhere so that's not a good practice.

[@lublocker]

Good information

[@edaspera]

thank you!

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

My pleasure.

[@manjukhetawat6806]

Thank you very much for your instructional videos which give a deep rooted knowledge enabling to attempt any painting. Could you please tell if we can use different mediums in one oil painting, like linseed oil plus turpentine in lower layers and then liquin for glazing in top layers?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Manju, we have to be careful about that. If a top layer dries before one underneath, there's a risk of the paint cracking.

[@manjukhetawat6806]

Thank you very much.

[@roseeartworksnl7992]

This is wonderful to see the dynamics of blending glazes. Dianne I use acrylics. what is the best to use for glazing with them please

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Rosee, since I don't paint with acrylics, I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer this with authority, but I do know that acrylic glazing mediums are available.

[@roseeartworksnl7992]

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thank you Dianne. I'll still be watching and learning as I understand some oil and acrylic techniques are universal. I use water for glazing as I never like the mediums. Thank you and enjoy your day.
