Quizzing is a technique that I really love. And a lot of artists build up glazing in their mind and think it's this complex, really hard to do thing, but it's actually really easy. It makes adjusting the colors really simple. And it's fun to do. And yeah, it's really easy. So, I'm going to use this to demonstrate a glaze on and I'm just going to show you how you can bring like a red and just sort of adjust a color while still seeing the form since glow through.
So what you do is you mix up a color, you can use any color in this case, I'm going to use some red, and you just mix a lot of oil into it so that it's really oily, and it's really translucent. And then you can just bring some of that into your painting. And you can see how with the glaze you can actually see the original painting kind of glows through And you just get that adjusted color while still seeing your initial form sense show through and if you want, you can even like take some excess off, rub the edges make it subtle. But you can see you can still see the light side and the shadow side you can see the edge of the form and you've just brought in like a warmer sense to the whole thing. So sometimes I'll use this to just like the color of the whole thing, say come to a portrait at the next day and it looks really pink or really purple or something.
I might do like an orange or yellow ochre glaze over the whole thing, just really lightly, or I might like glaze in a little bit more red into the lips or, you know, whatever it is that needs to be done. You can do it sometimes with a glaze, careful that you don't use like too much oil or it might start to drip down the surface of the painting. And a lot of the time after I've done a glaze, I'll also at the end of the day, like take it and lay it Flatten, let it dry like that so that you don't get it running down the surface. But yeah, that's all it is. You just add extra oil it creates a glaze and it's really fun to use and I hope that you enjoy it.
