This is great. Is there a way you match the glaze color to your portraits? I tend to use glazes, but recently had trouble matching a color to the dogs fur. I painted two boxers and the fur was yellow/raw sienna based. Your short white fur bull dog video came in so handy. You are amazing and i enjoy you tremendously!
Thank you =). That's really kind. I show how I colour match on my Patreon tutorials and it's a really simple system. No complex colour theory. The use of an eye dropper tool can make it easier to determine where that colour sits on the colour wheel which can really help to narrow down the paint/pencil colour options. If you haven't used one of those that may be worth a try =)
@@coviedogs I rarely use an eye dropper so if you'd rather not do that then using a paper colour wheel to see where you think the colour sits on it would help. This is something I show in lots of tutorials on Patreon but specifically the Giraffe. That focuses on colour selection right from the start =)
@@zaratomsart I guess your paintings kind of answer my question. Some warm reflected light is in shadow of backlit subjects? That doesn't necessarily show in a reference photo? I feel my backlit bird is too dark & cool.
They told have to be transparent paints. I use some more opaque colours and just add more water but colours such as titanium white that are really opaque will create a foggy effect rather than glaze so they are not ideal. But the Liquitex basics which is the paint I prefer to use are fairly transparent anyway so they work really well for glazing techniques.
@@zaratomsart Thank you for your way-fast response! I’m a new acrylic painter and am trying glazes. Your tutorials are very good. Animals will be my focal, too, once I get blending down….thanks again!
@@bohob6190 At what point does it bubble? Do you notice the bubbles during normal paint layers or just when glazing? Are the bubbles happening when you are mixing the glaze on your palette or when the glaze is on the canvas/surface?
It's a few different things. The brush, the amount of pressure applied to the brush and how much paint is loaded onto the brush are the main factors. Light pressure is key.
@@studiotezart You may not necessarily as some round brushes with light pressure can work but a nice smaller liner brush is always handy and is easier to create the finer lines =).
@@zaratomsart okay thanks, but one question. I'm like using an art kit with instructions and I don't understand. It's like a canvas with a grey drawing I have to paint with acrylics. It's says that color glaze means "the application of transparent color to the canvas allowing the grey scale design to remain clearly visible". Does this mean I have to paint the canvas in transparent color? 😭 The kit doesn't have any transparent color so I don't understand
@artist7509 is it paint by numbers? Without seeing the kit it's hard to say but that glaze may be more like a wash where you put a colour down but transparent to see the guide lines for then painting on top of?
@@zaratomsart it's not paint by numbers, it's like a canvas with a grey scale drawing and then a instructions kit that tells me how to apply the colors ect
The tiers are partitioned by medium. There's a graphite tier, pastel tier and acrylic tier. As Zara said, every tutorial available for each medium (tier) is listed on her website. Zara is an excellent teacher. If you're considering becoming a patron you should give it a go. I started with graphite but will be subscribing to the other tiers soon.
Very good description on what a glace is! Nice painting by the way. 👍👍👍

Thanks for the reply! Eye dropper is something I've thought of using, but it's technology! Lol I'm so old school

Do you use paints that aren't transparent for glazing? You mentioned yellow ochre.
Yep I just thin them with more water to make them transparent =)
@@zaratomsart cool. That might work with my bird painting
@@zaratomsart I guess your paintings kind of answer my question. Some warm reflected light is in shadow of backlit subjects? That doesn't necessarily show in a reference photo? I feel my backlit bird is too dark & cool.
Can any color be a glaze color or do we only use semi- transparent or totally transparent paints.
They told have to be transparent paints. I use some more opaque colours and just add more water but colours such as titanium white that are really opaque will create a foggy effect rather than glaze so they are not ideal. But the Liquitex basics which is the paint I prefer to use are fairly transparent anyway so they work really well for glazing techniques.

@linneaheaverlo688 no problem =). Thank you so much, so pleased they're helpful 🥰
I get bubbles in my glaze whether I use water or glazing medium. How do I prevent that?
What paint are you using?
@@zaratomsart Golden heavy body mainly and some Liquitex.
@@bohob6190 At what point does it bubble? Do you notice the bubbles during normal paint layers or just when glazing? Are the bubbles happening when you are mixing the glaze on your palette or when the glaze is on the canvas/surface?
I notice I get bubbles too, using Golden, and they appear when I am applying glaze to the canvas. I was thinking I had thinned it too much.
I have watched this twice you explain so nicely I feel happy to have found this channel. So clear voice and nice English accent
how do you get the brushstrokes so thin in the fur?
It's a few different things. The brush, the amount of pressure applied to the brush and how much paint is loaded onto the brush are the main factors. Light pressure is key.
@@zaratomsart Thank you, I guess I have to get a thinner brush
@@studiotezart You may not necessarily as some round brushes with light pressure can work but a nice smaller liner brush is always handy and is easier to create the finer lines =).
@@zaratomsart I have tried with all sorts of brushes and tecniques it feels, but I havent found the right trick yet. Practice practice 😊
It's also about how thin your paint is I just learned this myself. If you're using straight paint is not gonna work
So to glaze a painting i need to use water? Or what? 😭😭
@@artist7509 I just use water.

A little confusing about what you get and how many tutorials you get for each tier .
I have a complete list of all tutorials that are on Patreon on my Patreon library on my website.
The tiers are partitioned by medium. There's a graphite tier, pastel tier and acrylic tier. As Zara said, every tutorial available for each medium (tier) is listed on her website. Zara is an excellent teacher. If you're considering becoming a patron you should give it a go. I started with graphite but will be subscribing to the other tiers soon.
@Zhiavanja thank you so much ❤️. So pleased you're enjoying my Patreon tutorials 🥰
