Glazing Colors (Oct. 2025)

The technique of glazing transparent colors will give you many useful options as an oil or acrylic painter. You can begin with a grayscale underpainting and gradually add layers of color. You can add richness, saturation or depth to an area without losing the details underneath. You can also unify large areas or create color harmony in a painting.

Glazing in oil is a technique that originated during the Renaissance period. It was made famous by artists like Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. The technique of glazing can be used to create depth, subtle shifts in color and luminosity while using very little pigment. Create artwork that requires multiple layers of glazing, or glaze sparingly to add richness, unity or to color-correct your paintings. Learn how glazing can help take your paintings to the next level!
