Glazing

Decorative painting glazes are translucent coatings applied over a base paint to alter its appearance and create various decorative effects. These glazes are typically made from a mixture of pigments, resins, and solvents.

Glazes can intensify the colors of the underlying base coat or change the tone and hue, allowing for a more dynamic visual effect. By layering glazes, we can create a sense of depth, making surfaces look more textured and three-dimensional creating a play on light. Different techniques, such as sponging, rag rolling, or stippling, can be applied using glazes to achieve various visual styles, such as marbling, antiquing, or a weathered look.
