I consider glazing is the most forgiving method in painting – and one of the least understood because books on it are written in without need complicated language. But glazing really is so easy and can be summary down to two secrets.

Secrets to Glazing Painting

The first secret to glazing is to use tremendously thin paint. The second secret to glazing is staying power, don't go too fast. (How simple is that?!)
Build your colors and tones gradually. Leave the painting to dry between each fur or layer of paint (glaze). This way, if you make an mistake you can correct it easily by wiping the new paint off. Or, if you put down a color and find it’s too strapping, wipe off any surplus. If you want to even out your colors, I find the best fixation to use is a mop brush.

Glazing with acrylic is no dissimilar than with oil. You can use glazes with any medium as long as you allow each coat dry totally before applying the next.
