I always approached glazing like it is a delicate membrane, a veil or an aura. Thank you for showing this technique Nic

[@eyeshowyou]

Your painting has feeling. I love it.

I stopped by just to check your hair out ; )

Technically, this is not glazing its just smearing paint and wiping it off. Glazing is the process of using transparent paint which allows light to pass through the glazed layer , bounce off of the underlying layers and back at the viewer which creates a richer glowing color. This is not glazing because it does not produce that effect.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Super valuable!!!

Thank you! You’re very welcome

Really love how u used the black edge color to bring it into the painting as a vingette.

[@nikkiswenson54]

Wow, that does look scary, but because you said wipe out and sand back if needed...I will try it! Very interesting and it does unify! I understand how light reflecting and directional impasto highlights will achieve the Rembrandt effect! I am learning to be bold and playful with the paint! I love your portraiture! I like many styles and want to learn them all!

I Love this effect its looks so golden This shimmer and movement in the picture is fantastic, as if kissed by light. You look a little like the old master from Germany Albrecht Dürer. :) greetings from Germany

Thank you!

Great

[@patriciocabrera8424]

It is in this painting that I see that foggy , blurry effect before u apply the glazing. The only sharp area is in the forehead where the highlight is

[@giuseppebifulco4848]

Nic,thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge,God bless you! Can I ask you if glazing is a kind of final touch,or you can continue working after glazing,or doesnt make sense as you loose the effects if you paint on top of it,maybe just few refinement as high lights?

[@staceygrimes4107]

I wish this could be accomplished with acrylic. I’ve never used oils , but I may need to try!

[@neogerula]

Necesarely !

Hi…. New to your channel. Hope you don’t mind me asking a couple of questions please. Were you using the Zorn palette or a more transparent one… say one with Burnt/raw Sienna or transparent red oxide for better translucency? Will you go all the way with the same pigments or intercalating transparency and opacity like a more venetian approach?

[@stevechmilar1215]

I assume you're using what looks like an opaque brown because you want the values of the darks to remain lighter than the Rembrandt reference? Wouldn't a brown made from say Transparent Oxide Red with a tiny bit of Ultramarine Blue give you a dark brown that is already more transparent for glazing as well as darker for the deepest shadows? Or TOR with Prussian Blue for a faster drying glaze, or alizarin/indian Yellow/phthalo blue for a slower drying glaze.

[@alphotheone]

Wow, thank you ! scary yes, you, ve got... but thank you! ? Durer

[@toenail9535]

skin care routine ! noww

[@JohnNoZ35]

How are you painting with such thick paint on top of those layers? Is the paint you used to glaze fatter than the paint layers under it?

[@NicThurman]

Sanding and scraping makes it possible almost regardless of the previous listers

[@NicThurman]

Layers*

[@youareamazingyesyou5880]

is that just transparent paint you are applying over top of painting?

[@highgradeOG]

I think glazing originally was a technique developed by accident

[@shhh_quiet]

The sanding is so dangerous, oil painting and wiping with no gloves can be as well. Please be careful 🙏
