Oh good! Glad to help.

Good!

That video is included in my course The Complete Guide to Acrylic Paint. Here's a link for more information: nancyreyner.com/acrylic-techniques-landing-page-1/

Yes you can always apply any acrylic paint or acrylic product over another one. If you glaze using acrylic glazing mediums, once it dries you can overpaint with another glaze, other paints, mediums, pastes, etc. Acrylic is very flexible and versatile that way.

Good question! The best way is to have a scrap surface around, with the exact color or colors you have on the painting you want to glaze over. Then you can test a glaze color over the test board. Blow dry it to see what it looks like when dry. Change the glaze if needed to be more transparent, more opaque, or a different color. Test again. Repeat until it works for you. I usually apply a glaze color using 3 or more coats, so my first coat is very subtle, sometimes barely visible. Then I build up the color over more coats. Another way to really know which color will get the results you want is to understand color mixing. I have a great color video for purchase here: nancyreyner.com/media-store-new/ The video is called Perfect Color Mixing. Basically think about color mixing to glaze correctly. For instance, green is made of blue and yellow. If you have a green area on your painting, and you want it bluer you add a blue glaze over it. If you want a yellow area greener, you add a blue glaze over it. If you want to tone down a bright yellow, you add it's opposite which is violet as a glaze. Hope this helps!

Nancy Reyner. Wow Nancy thank you. I will get the video. You're an excellent teacher. I have three of your books!

You are welcome!

Now wouldn't that be great!

Good question! Fluid acrylic paints come in the bottles I have on my demonstration table (at least those made by Golden) while the thicker paints come in jars and tubes. So yes I am using fluid paints for the glazes in this video. However you can use the thicker paints and even the thinner ones called High Flow to make glaze mixtures. It isn't about the type of paint as much as it is about the ratio of medium to paint. You need to have much more medium then paint to make high pigment loaded paints (such as the ones Golden has) into transparent mixtures.

@@nancyreyner thanks very much for this. because im only starting off. I find the golden range beautiful but almost intimidating. i emailed them, but i cannot figure out which colours are more transparent than others, as their colour charts dont say. Im hoping to do layers where the under layer still shows through. for ex... if i put down yellow and then paint over part of it with a blue, then i shud get green where they overlap.. well thats what I hope. Im also really undecided whether to buy fluid or high flow

@@ruanmccready5299 It doesn't matter which color you use. Yes its true some colors are more transparent then others in their natural state. However every single color can be made more transparent by adding more medium to it. Mediums are usually clear, so the more clear component, the more transparent. You are correct that if you put down yellow, and then paint over it with a blue THAT IS TRANSPARENT then you will get green where they overlap. The trick is to start with a puddle of medium on your palette. Then gradually add blue, a small amount at a time, into the medium, mixing with a knife so the color mixes eventually to a consistent uniform mixture. Apply this over the yellow, then let it dry. Determine if it can use another coat. Keep applying coats until you are satisfied with the green you are getting. You want to err on the side of too transparent. Then you can apply more layers. If you start off not transparent enough it is difficult to revers (although while wet you can still wipe it off with a rag.)

@@nancyreyner8417 thats great. Thanks a million for all that info. I will definately give all that a try!

Sorry to hear you weren't able to watch it. Sounds like a glitch so maybe try again?

Same here. Love your videos!

@@nancyreyner not a glitch it didn’t finish. Wanted to see end results.

Same here. Not a glitch. @@elliemerc01
