To wash transparent layers - glazing compared

There are 2 ways to a transparent layer acrylic apply color. One way is take a "Wash" or "II" using a mixture of water, colored paint in a ratio of approximately 8: 2 (this is not an exact science, but the idea is, add enough water which fully diluted binder of acrylic, typically at least to the half water, half color). This makes a very dilute color in the surface of the substrate to down sinks. Wash and patches are made to absorbent surfaces. If your surface matte (not shiny) it is absorbent. I use the word "Wash" mark Alot of this diluted mixture, sitting on the surface to Puddeln procedure. While I the Word use "apply" when diluted mixture is applied, then quickly into the surface with a dry rag rubbed remains only a tinge of color - as a "stain".

Apply the latter, a transparent layer of color is by Windows. A glaze in General does not water nothing but instead used to paint a mixture of media to color in a ratio of 8: 2.(again, not science, to feeling rocket freely, with the Verhältnis-play but at least half of the mixture should be medium) .medium glaze (instead of water as in Waschprogramme) use, sit glazes painting interface and need a non-absorbent (or shiny) surface smooth and easy to apply.

Take up a painting process, if you are need to apply a transparent layer to see the time, a second absorbency the surface at any point. If it is matte then try a wash, if shiny use the glaze. If it is matte, and would rather use a glaze, apply a medium brightness you first a coat. Let it dry, then apply the glaze.The opposite is true.If your area is shiny and to apply a wash, you use some product a transparent grit gibt.Meinen favorites for this is to use's Golden acrylic ground for pastel, diluted you it not dilute at least 1: 1 with Wasser.Wenn will be opaque and can easily hide or obscure the paint layers below.

Other tips: I would like to apply glazes with a brush in very small areas at a time and then with a rag I color distributed sparsely and evenly, which works better with a brush for dissemination.

Another idea would initially be a thin layer of apply the acrylic glazing-liquid over the surface and is then while still wet, can colored glazes which slip a little easier.

In addition of Golden discs make very easy. may to traditional glazes with more rapid drying regular acrylic try line of varnishes and mediums.Labels instead of the and new open acrylics have a very long drying time: acrylic Techniquesposted by Nancy Reyner 2: 03 am
