The Great Gravy Boat Store

When would you use glazing? Well, sometimes personally, I have found that I am not satisfied with the look of a painting as sections of it seem quite drab, with the colors not penetrating through. Then I resort to glazing.

It could be that I did not make a good job of it which has disappointed me. However it could just be that I have overdone how much turpentine I have used. So I have had a bad day. We all experience these at some time or another. One of life's trials.

Most artists would consider this a crucial part of their work. It definitely seems to give your work a lift. The glazing part has so many uses as the majority of people have come to realize over the years.

So for me it is very valuable. For starters it will bring together as one, certain parts of your work, or even just a small portion of it. This gives you the opportunity to create greater depths, and a ready glow, particularly for trees, mountains, flowers,etc. Somehow it just brings your painting to life

What actually happens, is that you cover it with a very fine film of color over another, but please be sure to let the first coat be perfectly dry. I liken it to glass actually as really it is like the sun peeping through on your work. You may then come to realize you can bring coldness or heat to your work.

Always make sure that the color you put on the top is a transparent shade and I would expect that you could encounter trouble with the colors mixing together if you have not ensured your undercoat was not still wet.

If you want to harmonise your work, bring more strength to it, glazing is perfect. It is also great for making a feel of open space and distance. Really it can give an added dimension to your completed work.

I would not say that glazing is ever easy. It takes plenty of practice with your colors to achieve a satisfactory result. You just have to keep trying to reach your goal.

So now you have reached the experimental stage. For instance try a warmer colour over a paler shade. Like a strong violet over a pale yellow, or a dark green over yellow. I find it inspirational the strength of colour that can be produced.

There are certain rules to remember when you glaze. An absolute must is to not mix any white paint with the color you wish to glaze with. If you only use oil with it you can go about it by stroking it on gently.

You can also go over your work with a layer of gel, sometimes I resort to this method. I find that I like very bright, strong colors. Red being one of my total favorites, so I find I am quite happy to put one very strong red over another. Just look in your palettes and have a go. You can get terrific effects!
