How Does Glazing - The Ultimate Secret to Make your Paintings Glow Work?

Glazing is like giving your painting a shiny, sparkling coat that makes everything look more vivid and alive.

Imagine you're drawing a picture of an apple on paper with crayons. It looks nice, but it's still just a flat apple. Now, think about putting a layer of clear nail polish over it, suddenly, the apple seems to glow, like it’s real and juicy inside! That’s what glazing does in paintings.

Glazing is when you add thin, transparent layers of color on top of your painting. These layers don’t cover everything up, they let the colors underneath show through, but make them look deeper and more bright.

It's like wearing a pair of sunglasses on a sunny day, the world still looks the same, but everything feels more vivid and alive.

Every time you add a glaze, it’s like adding another layer to a window. The more layers you put on, the more light bounces around inside your painting, making it look shiny, smooth, and full of life, just like when sunlight hits a real apple!
