Can you 'glaze' an oil painting with white? This is something I've been asked a few times by private students and on courses. A controversial question. Well, here's my answer. Make sure you watch to the end to see the final finished work.
NB. As mentioned on my previous videos, please understand that I'm not some fancy RU-vid vlogger. So don't expect super-slick video content here. I'm a busy professional artist happy to share my knowledge with others. I hope it's interesting and useful to other artists and students. Please don't be too harsh on me in the comments section. Thanks!
This artwork is a commission, as mentioned in the video. If you're interested to know more about my work, or perhaps commission a piece yourself, please contact me through my website and at the links below.
Follow my Social channels too, especially my Instagram, where I regularly update from the studio and post Portfolio work that's available to purchase.
Thanks,

The older I get (I'm 72) the more I realise just how much I still have to learn. I paint portraits in oils and glazing with zinc white is something I shall now feel confident to experiment with. Thank you, Nial.

@ingrida1121 9 месяцев назад

I do not recommend using zinc white anymore, it was found that this paint is very unstable in the long run and does crack and even delaminate in some cases.

I was heartbroken when Thomas Kincaid passed. i have found a new "Painter of light' in Mr. Adams, (not a comparison, more a likeness in style) the way he brings all this light out of pure darkness. Truly enjoying your work, I cannot stop looking at it, each time I look I find new detail. Mesmerizing.

Beautiful painting !!! Thanks for the tips. This is gonna help me alot with unifying my contrast an dialing it down from too much juxtaposition !!! You're extremely talented an also a great teacher

@MichaelWarthStudios 4 месяца назад

Brilliant, I really love the tonal range of this piece and the wash made such a dramatic yet subtle change to the painting. For me, it made the atmospheric perspective work so well. I’d love to see it after the varnish is applied. Well done. I hope to see more videos here. Please don’t stop making videos.

Studying the history of Fine Art in the Baroque and Rococo eras, I caught myself thinking that the techniques of these periods were imbued with some secret of uniqueness. Thanks to you, I understood why - glazing with white color separate Rococo era so much🎨

Thanks for the tip regarding leaving some edges in clouds as opposed to blending them. It helped. I was over smoothening. Some paintings look great with totally smooth skies, but for some reason, mine don't.

Nice tutorial! And a godsend. Working on a big Isle of Skye landscape and needed due to its lack of distant "signals" (trees and houses) that the only indication was lightening.

@billmancos9820 2 года назад

Thanks, I’m guessing so many paintings need a little something at the end to unify, I know mine do. Would love to know how you got started doing this glazing/wash technique. You must like experimenting, as all great painters do! It is just fabulous I can’t wait to use it on my own un-unified paintings. Thanks again! 😊

@NialAdams 2 года назад

Yes Bill, give it a try. Sometimes it’s all a painting needs to complete it. Let me know how you get on please! N

@gerryheyen7701 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for your helpful video. I have two questions: glazing the burnt orange line of sunset with zinc white diluted the colour somewhat, so why not glaze the sunset with say cadmium orange? Also, can you glaze (or scumble) with light colours to make the background of a painting receded to create depth and reduce detail?

@maxkoch3232 Год назад

Hey, nice Video!! When i am painting a figure or portrait and i want to glaze to change the temperature in some darker halftones for example or give it some more color in some spots, but i dont want to change the value, how to i Do the glaze? When i want to warm some tones up and i glaze with for example a mixture of indian yellow and alizarin crimson it gets too intense most of the time even when i wipe out the most. Should i neutralize it with ivory Black or bring it to the same value the Spot is where i want to glaze with white? Would love to hear your idea. Max

@pjjmsn Год назад

Thanks, great video! I am thinking of adding some transparent lemon yellow to the zinc white because some of the areas I want to lighten are a creamy yellow-white. I will be more or less spot glazing, in that all I want to do is raise the value of some of the light areas in the sky. I have never done this before, so as you said it will take some bravery! I am a beginner so it is all new to me and I scew up a lot which causes stress, but I am learning to to fix the screw-ups.

@NialAdams Год назад

It’s all about learning and experimentation. So how did it turn out for you?! N

@pjjmsn Год назад

@@NialAdams Thanks Neil. I ended up painting over the area with opaque paint, cad yellow mixed with Titanium white which enede up looking better. I haven't had much success glazing with transparent paints in skies. Seems like opaque works much better for me on skies. Unless I want something to look like fog or water mist/spray. But if I try to use zinc white for clouds, it looks bad and I need to paint over it with opaque paint.

@winniw6846 8 месяцев назад

What about cracking? Zinc white is said to be leading to cracking.

@lophoflora 10 месяцев назад

Liquin may add more flexibility to zinc white. But if it flakes off, being at the final layer, maybe it can be fixed.

@lafortunato2894 6 месяцев назад

What do you think of using Windsor and newton blending and glazing medium?

@lindabusch5964 Месяц назад

My question is that in using Liquin to thin the Zinc White paint to a glaze, doesn't the Liquin tend to yellow over time? I used Liquin with Titanium White on one of my very large paintings; after a year, it had yellowed. In my eyes, it ruined the painting that I worked so hard on. Any other suggestions?

@@NialAdams ok .

@africo9104 2 года назад

Do you varnish this painting when finished, and if so, do you varnish with gloss or satin or mixed. .

@NialAdams 2 года назад

No, generally there is little need to varnish an oil painting these days. Paintings were traditionally varnished to protect them from atmospheric contamination like coal fire smoke, etc. Today the air is much cleaner. By all means you can varnish. Damar is a good choice but can give more gloss/shine than you might want. Most importantly do not varnish a painting until fully dry and that can take up to a year!! Nial

Should have shown the painting originally, then the same painting after the glazing.

@vernonhart9292 2 года назад

will it give a mist effect.

@NialAdams 2 года назад

Yes, depending upon how thick the paint/glaze/wash is you can create lovely misty effects. Give it a try!

@JacquelynSmith_perfect45degree Год назад

Love your video here! Check out Virgil Elliot’s book about oil paint. The new version. Regarding Zinc White: “Delamination of layers of oil paint containing zinc white was also revealed to be a significant issue.” Do you think this research proves we should no longer use it?

@JacquelynSmith_perfect45degree Год назад

I bet the Liquin will trap it in the way you are using it but I am no scientist.

@NialAdams Год назад

Thank you. And I’d say that delaminating only becomes an issue where Zinc white is used thicker, as an Impasto. In the case of using it for thin glazing there is adequate medium to bind it successfully.

@JacquelynSmith_perfect45degree Год назад

@@NialAdams I wondered about that. Time will tell us. The study was only 27 years long so we will learn fairly soon. Cheers!

@shnyby1 10 месяцев назад

Warning: A glaze using zinc white works well over warmer colours, but beware that it yellows rather quickly, so if you soften a sky with lots of blue and grey tones it could yellow to an ugly greenish tint within a year or two.
