Glazing in the context of painting refers to a technique used by artists to apply a thin, semi-transparent layer of paint, known as a glaze, over an already dry layer of paint. The technique is primarily used to modify the color and tone of the underlying paint layer, and to achieve a depth and luminosity in the painting that is not possible with a single layer of opaque paint. | Glazing in the context of painting refers to a technique used by artists to apply a thin, semi-transparent layer of paint, known as a glaze, over an already dry layer of paint.
