Mastering Subtle Texture in Your Painting with White Paint and Glazes: Tips and Techniques

[@mssusanmarie]

I'm a new painter and I started mixing colors this way instinctively. I also sometimes paint over an entire dry acrylic painting with white paint and water, then scrub it off quickly with a paper towel to mute the colors even more.

These are such great tips. Thank You, Judy.💐👌‼️Toom@CapeTown

For glazing I have been using a Resene product called Paint Effects which seems to be just a binder with no pigment. It is quite fluid but has more body than water or air brush medium and dries matt. I mix it with acrylic paint for transparent layers that are a little thicker than the usual glaze - I can add 4 or 5 layers that will still show. I was using acrylic medium but the only fluid one I could get was glossy which wasn't what I wanted. Just in case anyone is interested 🙂 Good video, very useful about the colour mixing.

I love these light & delicate paintings.

[@ijolivier1719]

Thank you for explains how to create a harmonious palate. The whole video was very informative. Thank you.

[@judywoodsart]

Pleased it helped

[@lindysmith378]

Just to add a little more to my last comment. I really like these subtle colours but I also like the pop of the pure pale yellow.

[@ES-lt8gw]

Lovely

[@lindysmith378]

I really like this effect.

[@rowenacorlett3146]

I absolutely love this video and the lovely soft harmony the mixing you demonstrated produces. I am definitely going to try this. Thank you!

[@judywoodsart]

Wonderful!

[@JDC-qq4re]

Fantastic video. So informative! Please can you tell me about the ‘color mixer’ brush and the upright tool you use for making lines? I’ve tried to use a ruler for those straight edges and it is seriously messy. Thank you so much for your instruction and inspiration Judy.

[@judywoodsart]

The Colour Shaper is like a brush but it has a rubber edge rather than bristles - great for moving the paint around. A painters straight edge is what I use for the lines - available at hardware stores or paint shops.

[@dafyddrichards1238]

Up to your usual high standard of teaching by showing.

[@ilenearena9166]

I love watching you making this lovely piece . Could you name the paint colors please ? You mentioned Azo & Yellow Umbrella, Paynes Gray & white . What are the blue paints you're using ? I love that sort of sky/light blue or is it teal ??

[@8433alice]

Beautiful result, and excellent description. Thank you!

[@carynpercell8979]

What were your paint colors you used from the tube for mixing please?

[@Midgy21747]

I love those colours. I'm going to have to watch this over again and make sure I follow the rule. Thanks for sharing.

Such great information, Thank you

[@blackpoppymagazine]

Wow that was super helpful! Had just started to learn about that colour mixing trick which has transformed my paintings (im a newbie lol!) but was great to learn about yhe glazing idea, i love it. Teally interesting to do these layers, helps level up a painting for sure! New subscriber, cant wait to watch more!!

[@judywoodsart]

I'm so glad!

[@jenniecallomon164]

Oh so lovely. I’m going to try this…….

[@jackelinslack4400]

Such an informative video. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@judywoodsart]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carynpercell8979]

Also what is the difference in the airbrush medium vs glazing medium if using it for glazing purposes?

[@judywoodsart]

Airbrush medium is thinner, runnier.

[@ilenearena9166]

I just tried this exercise and what a big mess it came to !!! I'm having so much trouble just mixing the colors on my palette without creating a big mess quickly of all the colors mixing together & then I don't have the room to keep mixing new colors without the others getting in the way . Do you clean your palette knife between the mixing ? Im getting blobs & my piece did not come out muted & light at all! Plus the paint dried very quickly on my palette although I had wet paper towels under it . I am so frustrated & feel like I can't get it . I used the exact colors you used . I guess that's the difference between an experienced, talented artist & me 😢 Any tutorials on slowly just mixing on a palette would help me so much. It looks so easy when you do it . I feel like such a failure ...

[@judywoodsart]

OH no!! Don't be downhearted - you'll get there. I'll do a video just for you on how I mix colours and use my palette. Stay tuned!

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

[@HarrysHappenings]

After a few minutes i realised you were using a water based paint, like acrylic. I use oils so glazing using a water base is not suitable. I think you should change your title to explain what medium you are using.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

So beautiful. I love to use glazes and I am going to try out this thick and thin technique in my next painting. Thanks for making this. You have a lovely voice 🥬

[@Michelle-w7q]

Классно получилось ! Цвета красивые !

[@judywoodsart]

Thanks so much.

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

Hi Judy. Does your palette dry out? No lid.

[@judywoodsart]

I do have a lid.

[@annrubino6252]

Great tutorial, Judy. I have been wondering about airbrush medium. It worked well here and was preferable to watering-down glazing medium. Do you think it could be used to mimic inks? Trying to not purchase too many supplies. Thanks for this video.

[@judywoodsart]

Well you can add pigment to it so I think it's worth experimenting.

[@senndango]

@@judywoodsart why did you switch to an airbrush medium rather than water?

[@blackreazor]

​@@senndangobecause water will thin down the polymer that binds the pigment. So you can opt to use a thinner version of the same polymer whiout compromising the paint structure

[@shanfazelbhoy9491]

Very helpful, thank you so much.

[@ilenearena9166]

Love this tutorial ...

[@judywoodsart]

Thank you! 😊

[@arlenewalsh8671]

Thank you for this great video Judy. I am fairly new to mediums and was wondering do you have a video or pdf on the purposes of the different mediums i:e can you use a pouring medium or the difference between that and a glazing medium?

[@judywoodsart]

Go to the Golden website and you'll see they have all that covered for you.
