Glazing is a great way to tweak your finished paintings.
Top 4 Glazing Tips:
1. Pre-wet your painting with painting medium.
2. Use a soft brush.
3. Multiple thin glazes are better than one thick one.
4. Transparent paints glaze better than opaque paints.

Although glazes are usually used to enhance areas, they can also be used to dull down areas. For example - turn a bright blue sky into an evening sky?....use an orange glaze over the blue to slightly darken the blue and desaturate it.

What a gem u are! I never would have thought of that! I only wish my art was as beautiful to begin with! Gorgeous painting! My eyes are so happy!

@naomineale4591 3 года назад

I've heard of glazing before but this demo really helped me understand the application of the technique. It definitely adds a depth and contrast to the painting. I guess the danger is picking the wrong colour to glaze with. Practice and play music be the answer!

@suewilkinson910 2 года назад

Thank you! I've inherited a lot of random acrylic paints and mediums from Dad when he died. I have never painted in acrylics and am scared of them! So I will take heart and watch some of your videos and see if I can work out how to use them. Today I found some glaze mediums and had no idea. Now I do.

@skasskass8331 2 года назад

Such a helpful video. Can i ask what is the difference in using Glazing Medium and the Gloss and Varnish Medium you used for this. I have both products but it one better than the other? Thanks

@ARTPAINTING101 2 года назад

Glazing medium has more retarder and leveling agents added to it, this improves working time and helps reduce brushstrokes as they tend to flatten out. The finish, if you are using the correct brush and amount of paint, will yield similar results. If you are working on very large canvasses probably using glazing medium would allow better edge transitions (where you last left off)

@jeremiahsingularo7340 3 года назад

i wonder.. have you tried with synthetic oil like cleaned and cooked transfat? i also heard they are making the acrylic transparent lack with 12-24 hours dry out time. maybe you can try it too?

@jennyjbanks 2 года назад

May i ask...using a glaze, is it like putting a varnish over the top? Or is it to add/intensify areas of the painting...does it add a sheen? So would it make the area added shiny? Would you need to do the whole painting? Or can u do just a small area?

@mcchang4912 3 года назад

Hi , did you Glaze on a oil painting or acrylic painting?

@daikayll1897 3 года назад

I like to glaze over acrylic with oil colours. Just find theres a tad more pop ! Thanx for the video Richard.

@tiagodagostini 3 года назад

You can make Acrylics pop the same as Oils, you just need to correctly varnish it after it has cured.

@noobilyplus 11 месяцев назад

idk if anyone will answer since this was made years ago, but does it have to be a gloss varnish? will a matte one work ok?

@dawnjohnson1039 3 года назад

Is that a gray Mat that you use to blend your paints? What exactly is it and where do I get a large one like that? Thank You! Dawn

@RichardRobinsonStudio 3 года назад

It’s a mid grey plastic panel about 4mm thick. It came with my soltek easel but any glass/plastic dealer could make you one to suit. Or simply paint the underside of a glass sheet grey. (Sand the edges smooth).

I am wondering why you use gloss and not matte medium? When I have used gloss it leaves shiny patches. Do you finish by glazing the whole painting?

Yes I gloss the whole thing afterwards.

@danielwetzel6087 3 года назад

@@RichardRobinsonStudio Hello Richard, appreciate the demo. I'm surprised that you use this varnish for glazing. Wouldn't you use a gloss medium when glazing and then add the varnish to the whole painting when dry? If you could explain why you use the varnish to glaze, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

@RichardRobinsonStudio 3 года назад

Daniel Wetzel as far as I know it doesn’t matter. It’s all acrylic which is very flexible and doesn’t have the same cracking problems as oils. For oils I’d use walnut oil or liquin for glazing, and wait a good amount of time before glazing.

Why not just glaze with thinned with water, what's the disadvantage? And what do you do to finish (varnish) an acrylic painting if one want matt finish?

Have you considered using an actual glazing medium? It’s much smoother.

@songofsongs1536 2 года назад

How do i choose the right colour ...is their a rule

@ARTPAINTING101 2 года назад

Haha no rules in art, he chose those colors because he was trying give atmospheric light of the sunset, more yellow in the center, reddish as the light spreads. You could use (off) white glazes over distant mountains (blue recedes) green over trees shadows (signifying reflected light) even use a single unifying color over an entire painting to tie all areas together.
