Gloss medium for velatura, or glazing (glazing ), with acrylic paint that dries clear and glossy, leaving only the shade it is mixed with visible. It speeds up drying time and increases the paint’s flexibility after it hardens. It can be thinned with a little water.
Velatura, or glazing, is a technique traditionally used with oil paints to apply a very transparent layer over a colored or black-and-white painting with established tonal values ( the grisaille technique), to add color or create depth and realism.
Typically, a large proportion of medium is used instead of water, with a small proportion of paint (for example, a 70/30 ratio), but the ratio may vary depending on the desired saturation and the density of the paint. The most suitable paints for this purpose are transparent and semi-transparent paints, marked with ☐ and ⧄.
The homogeneous mixture with the paint can be applied gradually to specific parts of the painting or, more boldly, to the entire painting, and then removed with a damp cloth to completely transform the tonality, atmosphere, and overall effect.
