Description - Glazing is a technique for oil painting that involves applying thin layers of translucent paint over a completely dry underpainting. As opposed to “direct painting,” the advantages of glazing are that it enhances a jewel-like presentation, promotes a sense of atmosphere, and allows subtle shifts in chroma and hue. It allows the artist to approach a complicated subject piecemeal. For instance, glazing over a completed monochromatic underpainting in greys, browns, or greens allows the artist to work out complicated value transitions first before the issues are complicated with hue and chroma.

In this tutorial, artist Lisa Gloria goes step by step through the glazing of a porcelain vase painted with a toile pattern, to a high level of realism. The video includes specific instruction and a closeup view of the artist’s hand as she completes this process before your eyes. 8 minute video with introduction, closeups and voiceover.
