Glazing with Acrylics - A Floral Study

Learn the skill of creating a work of art using the technique of “Indirect Painting,” the underpainting is fully developed in monochrome. In this example, the underpainting is created in "Grisialle" - meaning in a scale of grays mixed by combining black and white.

Using the compositional and value understanding gained by the “ Grisialle” underpainting color is applied with “Glazing”- meaning using thin layers of color, each allowing the color below to exist adding to the depth and contrast of colors within the painting. “Glazing” is a technique oil painters use to create a transparent layer of paint that usually contains a single pigment. A high portion of medium is used to create the transparent effect. This will alter the colors of the painting and increase luminosity. “Glazing” is a technique best known for its use by the “Dutch Masters”.
