How to GLAZE your paintings! Easily make your paintings pop?

Glazing is like giving your painting a shiny, extra-special coat that makes it look even more colorful and bright.

Imagine you drew a rainbow on paper with crayons, it looks nice, but if you put a clear sticker over it, it becomes super colorful and shiny. That’s what glazing does! It adds an extra layer that helps the colors pop.

Glazing is when you add a thin, clear layer on top of your painting, like adding a thin layer of glass to a picture. This makes the colors look deeper, brighter, and more alive.

You can use something called glaze, it’s like a special kind of paint that is very thin and clear. You brush it over your painting in gentle, even strokes. It doesn’t cover up the colors; instead, it makes them look more vivid, just like how sunlight makes things look brighter.

Try glazing on your favorite drawing, you’ll see how it changes from “nice” to “wow!”
