My favourite is glazing and I always use at least 5 layers to a highlight. Try to get a lot of contrast .... even to a point where the lowest is black and highest is white..

I think this is one of the best tutorial videos I've seen. Thanks so much for this advice, especially for giving each specific tip its own individual video section. Those video timestamps are extremely useful. Even though I'd seen a lot of the techniques, I was having difficulty putting "names to faces," so to speak (for instance, I'd heard of glazing and I'd heard of the color-blending technique, but giving a specific definition really helped). I'd never actually seen the loaded-brush technique at the end before, but I really liked the cranberry-looking color gradient.

As with the last video I watched from you, no word of a lie, leaps and bounds more helpful than any other tutorial ive seen since starting painting. Felt stuck and bored and this allowed me to try stuff out for myself, understanding the basics and just applying them. Why do other youtubers not bother with the basics, when clearly, many of us are just starting out painting? Well done, seriously. Subscribed.

I just found your channel recently and I love it! The beginning of this was mostly redundant for me but there were plenty of cool WIPs to check out. Wet blending is something I struggle with so that was super helpful and loaded-brush is something I'd heard of, but hadn't seen but I'm super excited to try now. I hope to see a lot more from your channel in the future!

The thinning paints explanation was SUPER useful. Thank you for the clear explanations and visual demonstrations.
