7. 3) Glazing Glazing is a watercolor technique that uses a thin, transparent pigment applied over dry existing washes. Its purpose is to adjust the color and tone of the underlying wash. You should use very little pressure, so as not to disturb the underlying layers of paint. A very soft brush is also a requirement. Non staining, transparent pigments are ideal for glazing as they can be applied layer after layer to achieve the desired effect.
