a wonderful video called very very helpful I still suggest that we all do one of these ourselves so we get a better grasp on it because this makes a very big difference in all aspects of your painting
Hello Clive,,thank you very much for your tutorials,especially this one. I am just learning to paint and this will help me tremendously..a new fan from Canada...Bill
This simple demonstration helped me considerably! I had no idea of how to do glazing or what was meant by transparent painting! I would paint and all the "good" stuff I wanted to keep got covered up....because the paint was opaque!! Thank you for this information!
A good test for me to try!! New to acrylics and glazing and this test is perfect! I do need to know what word you are using for the first line....are you saying "neat"??? Thank you!
Great video! You can also check the opacity of the color on the brand's website, its usually a table of color, transparency and other relevant aspects. Nothing compares to see the actual result though! It's a great tool, thank you :)
Another great way to have this information is a colour chart from each brand i use ,it shows if the pigment is transparent,opaque,semi opaque,staining,granulating,and the pigment number,not gust a name ,they vary from brand to brand,pigment number is more stayble info,great demo Clive.
What a fantastic video. Thanks so much I learned so much from this. Im going to do the same with the colours I use. If for nothing else its good to know what exactly I have. Shannon
Hi Clive, I use Liquitex paint and I have every color you mentioned except Vandyke brown. Can it be mixed from other colors? Or should I just let it go and move on with doing the chart ?
Good video. Excellent lesson. My problem is understanding and applying the concept. O.K. so one color blocks the black line more than others. O.K. but how is understanding this going to make one paint better or make the painting better. Can you suggest a video or an example of the technique being used to create a desired effect?
alizarin crimson is made with alizarin crimson pigment, which is not lightfast. Most acrylic manufacturing uses permanent alizarin crimson this has a descriptive name indicating, not the pigment, but that they have used a pigment that performs similarly to alizarin crimson but with better lightfastness. They could have more accurately called it anthraquinone red, but then people who are looking for something similar to alizarin would have to work harder to figure out what to buy.
Brilliant teaching and so informative! Thank you!
More, more, more of this! Wonderful teaching.
I love you so much! This is my first time seeing you. I subscribed!

nothing is better than making a chart to see how each pigment reacts.
Great idea the good thing is to make your own it help you get used too the paint and gives you practice
Maria do you know where I could get the charts that you are speaking of? Thank you. My e-mail address is dwrjrbr@gmail.com
Is there any way to increase opaque-ness without sacrificing saturation?
I'm not sure on that one
What a fantastic video. Thanks so much I learned so much from this. Im going to do the same with the colours I use. If for nothing else its good to know what exactly I have. Shannon
Art Junkie excellent its always good to know these things
Thank you 🎆🙏🎆
Late to the comments but-- this is so helpful. Is the glazing medium glossy, matte or satin?
Glazing medium I use is gloss you can buy Matt if you mix 50/50 you will get a satin
Hi Clive, I use Liquitex paint and I have every color you mentioned except Vandyke brown. Can it be mixed from other colors? Or should I just let it go and move on with doing the chart ?
Try mixing ultramarine blue with black that should be ok your looking for a dark brown
nicely done. ty

Only 3 colors are Not transparent: Nap* yellow, that light blue and that yellowish on the far end.

O.K. but how is understanding this going to make one paint better or make the painting better. Can you suggest a video or an example of the technique being used to create a desired effect?
All it explains is the transparency of colours some are more transparent than others we must understand and know which is which in order to mix
Hi Clive
Are your paints artist quality?
Most lessons I use student grade, my commission work is artist grade or I mix my own with pigment
THANK YOU
bamamaria you welcome ty to
Please tell all your subscribers that Alizeran Crimson is totally fugitive(it fades) Quinacridone Magenta is much better.
