Painting glazes

Acrylic paint glazes are often used to create more depth in an image. When glaze medium is applied to acrylic
paint, the paint becomes more transparent and will reveal the layer of paint used beneath it, which modifies
the color.[4] This technique is commonly used to create more realistic images. Light colored glazes also have
softening effects when painted over dark or bright images. Artists can mix glazes themselves, or can buy pre-
mixed acrylic glazes.

It is best to wait for each layer to dry thoroughly before applying another coat. This will prevent the paint
from smearing or leaving unwanted smudge marks. After the application of several layers, rubbing alcohol
can be brushed or sprayed on to reveal colors from earlier layers.
