Glazing – “Overlapping Outlines”

Step 4. Allow the shapes to dry completely


before painting the overlapping shape.


Consider your colour choices and experiment
with primary and secondary colours as colour
choices – even painting a secondary colour over
another secondary colour.


Some students may end up with muddy brown



  • but that’s okay. It’s an experiment in glazing
    and some colours glaze better than others.


Step 5. To add visual interest, I added shadows to my objects.


Determine from where your light source is coming. Mix a light ultramarine to paint a line on the opposite
side of each object from the light source.


“Candle Flame” and “Tree” (and more!) are
