GLAZING - Old Masters Secrets and Modern Techniques - Oil Painting Tutorial

GLAZING - Old Masters Secrets and Modern Techniques - Oil Painting Tutorial

Glazing is a technique that consists in applying a thin layer of transparent paint over the surface.
Paints can be mixed together to obtain new colors, this is sometimes called direct mixing, but they can also be applied in layers, wet on dry, and this is the case with the glaze technique.
I already have an video about glazing on my channel but it’s kind of old now and I wanted to have a fresh look at this fascinating technique and investigate it more in-depth. I will try to avoid repeating myself so if there’s something I didn’t cover in this video, it might be in the first one, so make sure to check it out as well.

About me (bio) :

https://www.florentfarges.com

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
