step 10 After a thin glaze is applied, it needs to be blended. First the glaze is partly wiped off with a rag, to reveal the lighter areas. Then with a very soft brush, gradually thinning and softening the edges to reveal the underpainting, the light side of the jacket is produced. The grain of the canvas shows through, and adds a unifying texture similar to the grain in photography. You can see here, the wonderfully rich colours that are achieved with glazes. This is because the paint works essentially like stained glass. Starting with a lighter undercolour, you glaze with a darker colour on top. This lets the light from the underpainting shine through the glaze, which acts like coloured glass. |
