The Art of Glazing in Painting How to use Glazing Technique in Paintings

How to use glazing techniques in painting. Glazing is a technique of laying transparent layers of paints one over the other considering the effects they produce to the viewers eye. Usually glazing is done using transparent colors and not opaque colors in oils as the effect of glazing is only seen after many layers of thin paint.
Glazing was in fact a protective layer on the painting by applying thin light brown varnish to form an protective cover for the precious oil on canvas paintings.
Color field painting has been on my mind for many years but never tried this technique. Laying of paints in thick texture was  very important to me as for this I have chosen oils over any other medium. Water color, thin, transparent has never come out good for me and the few works that I have done earlier are the only proof that I have tried even this medium, water color.
Glazing is not easy especially of you  don't have patience, it takes time, a lot of time. Patiently thinning the paint with thinner  or dissolver and waiting for every layer to dry off.
Colors like yellow when painted over with prussian blue give a lovely beautiful green. A simple lesson for every person who has studied art but for me a new discovery, a process of beauty. The newness of each color, each stroke, innocent strokes bring out immense feelings of happiness. Glazing can also help to give a shine to your artworks when used as thin layer over the painting.
Color study is essential for glazing as to understand the effects of each color over the other.

Few simple tips on glazing-
It is very important that glazing requires very thin paint,  but not too thin that the color looks muddy.
Let the layers of paint dry off well before next coat other wise the previous layer of paint will get mixed with the new layer of paint and form muddy color.
Study color well before selecting for glazing art technique in painting. Understand how the effect to the eye each paint will give on reflecting of light if you want a specific effect.
For creative results you can glaze only few parts of painting and leave the rest try it looks great. Can layer  on some parts with glaze and leave the rest with original color.
An after thought, if this does not work use the canvas by repainting over it, enjoy the process of glazing!

                                                Rainbow Healing Stone Abstract Symbolic Painting by Mrs Rizwana A.Mundewadi
As I continue to use Reiki Golden Symbols for purification also the Yin Yang symbol for balance and harmony  forms the central core of the concept. The painting has dried well as with orange background the concept again of healing stones. Amethysts purple, blue topaz, pink rose quartz, green emerald and jade stones, the fascination never ends , another artwork on healing stones.The concept of rainbow colors in healing stone, the effects on the psyche,  using vibrant colors, (now wherever you see tons of color on paintings you remember me) Glazing,  has given a new look to this piece of art and transparency was never so beautiful. Enjoy!
While on this spiritual journey of The Red Pilgrim, as I continue to paint healing art...
I wish to make simple colorful, understandable art, art that heals.

New Abstract Cubism Painting Pink Triangle, Jan 2013

New cubism abstract oil painting on canvas, 'The Pink Triangle', with so much emotional turmoil going on in my life,  it is very difficult to make happy art. Sometimes i find it hard to understand why did  this path choose me , of healing, healers go through so much energy problems which the world does not know about. Reiki healing has every healers aura opened and as we act like hollow channels to transfer energy from the universe to others around we are so prone to negative energy  attacks, other while they feel happy and love to spend time with us we are drained of the energy and have to reboot ourselves often. Have been advised to stay away from negativity and also keep aura healthy strong, still sometimes the accidents happen.As years go about to form a level of energy it drains away in days when we are exposed to negative energies around, one of the reasons why i have more birds and plant friends than humans!
 artists sure need commitment and loads of quiet time to bring out art, especially healing art.

The painting came out when its energy  was most required by me. As the healing triangle with its waves and colors, yin and yang as the idea began for making an artwork on 'Summer Solstice' was the original name in the beginning in my mind,  the most yang moment in the garden , which falls on June 21 every year, and the idea transformed into a colorful artwork, where there are lots of red orange flowers, pots representing earth energy and circles and white flowers for metal element for strength, money luck.The central mandala structure in abstraction and cubism style follows the principles of mandala paintings but appears to a cubism abstract.The sacred shape movement in Octad two overlapping triangles forms the central core of the artwork, where i usually do not go in for a perfect Octad, still till now, maybe later years may show a complete harmony Octad symbol in my healing paintings..
Red triangle for the immense energy is over powered by the pink triangle of love, healing. As the tip of the triangle shape is very powerful to direct energy and the tow base points balance energy the triangle is a shape that is best to spread energy in all directions, but only after square and circle.
Scared shapes used in this cubism artwork the painting is a colorful abstract symbolic painting for healing. How the pink came into being is of the years of obsession with stone, rose quartz, which i knew would form a part of my healing painting at some time.Rose quartz is a beautiful stone which has proved to be used by many for its healing properties and universal love powers. the rose quartz is a pink stone opaque, and sends out positive vibes according to  intentions. When there is loads of negative energy there are instances where the rose quartz stone has cracked if not purified and cleansed on time. This rose quartz helps an individual to accept things and learn to love yourself, which is the first step towards healing. Once there is acceptance then there is healing and happiness peace.
Colors used are earth energy as well as spiritual energy colors with red, brown, greens bringing prosperity energy and white and pink lilac bringing spiritual energy to the cubism abstract artwork.

Rizwana A Mundewadi 'Deep Healing at Karmic Levels'

Karmic level healing with reiki brings about a beautiful life energy. Life will seem joyful and never uphill. With reiki energy we go deeper to target the karmic levels because most life hurdles and blocks are linked to past karma and this can be healed if we just know the correct way.
Reiki specific symbols assist with unblocking this energy and allows pure energy flow into your life.
