More glazing techniques

This week I thought I'd get a handle on glazing by painting a favourite scene of rocks at Bronte. I also wanted to complete the piece so did it in A3 size.


The glaze is of pthalo green as water and this wonderful ink in burnt sienna which is transparent on the rocks. There is also a transparent white which I used to knock back the background water. As a technique glazing takes time and being impatient I can't see myself embracing it 100%. I'd use it judiciously and have a hair dryer handy!
