I've only tried a few products in acrylic for glazing, being Daler Rowney's glazing medium, and this time I tried something totally different. I used an interior paint glaze for walls by Valspar. I wouldn't recommend it's use in painting, as it doesn't lend much moresasto65https://www.blogger.com/profile/13776830976034706402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202820427863555301.post-14207643466935799672011-01-16T00:51:17.039-05:002011-01-16T00:51:17.039-05:00Hi ya!! thanks so much for posting the 'Iris&#...Hi ya!! thanks so much for posting the 'Iris' story!!

It seems like a lot of newer painters have missed 'discovery' techniques - see, read, study and experience. Glazes are one of the best experiences to have discovered. They are the mysterious 'life' in the oils I love best.

A person could paint with a shoe string if they wanted to, but it's certainly easier with a brush. Among my favorites on the inexpensive side are synthetic brushes. They hold their shape well and are soft enough to apply color sasto65https://www.blogger.com/profile/13776830976034706402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202820427863555301.post-65446675690223377132011-01-14T17:35:48.879-05:002011-01-14T17:35:48.879-05:00Thank you so much Tina.

I'm especially interested in glazing but right now everything has to be pretty detailed for me since I'm just starting out. Keep up the great writing. And thanks for the tips on women.
