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!

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.

Recover from past abuse, healing past karmic hindrances in this and past life

Finding your soul mate with Reiki symbol healing art

Customized paintings are unique energy paintings. Every individual and every soul feels the lack of energy in their life journey and customized energy abstracts are a great way to complete the picture of your life with my assistance and specific  Reiki symbols. 

Especially Reiki healing art has been found to work wonders with past abuse, past life emotional and karmic blocks and relationships challenges that become such powerful blocks that people are unable to form lasting relationships and even struggle with normal married life and sexual relationships are always a pain for them. Reiki symbol Harth and Se he Ki has been found to bring immense benefit with sexual abuse people. When we apply the Gateway to heart symbol opening  up our heart to give and receive love,. to form trusting and bonding new relationships,. to open our heart to love. All the bitterness and hatred gradually dissolves and brings immense satisfaction with life. total perspective changes from being a culprit, blaming one's self for all that happened to us... to a person who was chosen for the karmic lesson.

Chronic diseases, pain,  customized healing art can be made

When I make a customized Reiki symbol healing painting it is made with lots of mediations understanding your soul purposes. People may feel they face wealth blocks, or are not finding the right soul mate, suffer repeated losses in business and wonder why same things keep repeating in life.

We have to identify the cause, then bring in self acceptance and then the next. step to welcome fresh energy for future progress. 

Remember unless the karma is healed you keep repeating the same mistakes and same experiences keep on coming in your life.

Hope this helps!

All the Best from Rizwana!

Meaning and Symbolism of the Reiki Seichem Midas Star Symbol in healing Paintings

Reiki Seichem most rarest and precious symbols is The Midas Star. Healing art and paintings with reiki symbols for the purpose of spreading healing around the globe this Reiki Seichem symbol is another way to spread positivity good luck and harmony around.
Observing stars in the night, mid night and early dawn brings new discoveries and as I love to watch the quiet sky, and the abundance of stars on a clear night it has been often said by healers that the core star of each individual lies in the sky, you have to connect to this star and see the mysteries of life unfold , giving new meaning to your life, your life purpose.
The painting "Midas Star" has come upon with amalgamation with knowledge of feng shui and Reiki to make a beautiful colorful simple painting.
As the name suggests our first thought will of course be of the famous tale of the Midas Touch, the touch of gold. As often many times I have mentioned  the Symbols itself have no meaning or healing powers, it is the intent of the sender, healer,  and the receiver , healee that makes us heal.
Midas Star is a powerful symbol to attract all forms of luck and prosperity.  This does not mean only wealth and money, the symbol is used by healers to attract all energies that benefit in over all life issues.

The Midas Star symbol Healing Art " Blessings Green Abundance" by The Red Pilgrim Rizwana A.

The symbol for affluence, The Midas Star, and wealth, not just money, but, as money is the way to many successes and also a means path for achievement our goals.  Most of  the things in life we  need to do  are surely affected by wealth and power.
writing sigil for money quickly in this You Tube video. 
Feng shui  symbolism of the  colors and shapes , following the element theory and the corresponding shapes for each element, their feng shui colors makes this healing painting very colorful and bright.Sacred shapes and symbols  form an important part  of healing paintings.
Gaining access to the universal power of healing symbols makes one open to receive and give healing and love towards self and others.

The writing of this Reiki Seichem symbol begins from one stroke and continues to completion.  Beginning always from below and moving upwards, the movement for success. The inter connection of lines forming this beautiful symbol itself is an healing process, and try it, it is difficult to make when your personal energies are not in balance.
The Reiki abundance symbol is actually a life saver and works miraculously on life issues with attracting abundance and of course money luck. It is actually a magic star that will show direction to your life. If you have chanced upon this page, you are lucky! if you have lost track of struggles, and want some serious changes take action now! Welcome the Reiki Midas Star!

I wish to make simple, colorful, understandable art, Art that heals.

How to Understand Symbolic Paintings Symbolism Behind Healing Art

Planet of Love Original Symbolic Painting by Mrs Rizwana A.Mundewadi Year 2000 Oil on Canvas size 29x19 Inches

 Original symbolic paintings done in early years   show how my  thoughts were  so simple and colors played  a very important role in my art   then and now.

Wheel of Karma Original Painting on Canvas by Mrs Rizwana A.Mundewadi Year 2001 Size  30x39 Inches

 Sacred geometry was beginning in its nascent stage and has now advanced to the higher level shapes of the Octad my favourite one. Feng shui symbolism and  sacred geometry along with Reiki symbolism all has become a flowing part of me and my healing art.
From sweet landscapes and lines and many many lines, I have started using symbols in my paintings. Beginning with the eight auspicious symbols in Tibetan Buddhism and the Ashtamangala 
Symbolism depicts much more than what is visible to the eye. It is the viewpoint of the artist first, visualization next and then come the real paintings which may be totally different. After this the eye of the viewer, the though processes in the mind of the viewers comes to play and this brings a totally different picture and explanation.

Golden rules of art collectors for  the new young art collectors for storing paintings-
1) Very important , buy cheap,  means hunt for new talent, new  artists , also you can bargain and get great deals on buying more paintings, new emerging artists works so that you can get a good number of paintings in  your budget ranges. Here the advantage of storing paintings would be that most of the works are   either ten or more years old and not more than that so  the paintings  are varnished and in very good condition, no need to spend money on restoration work or preserving of paintings.
How will this painting look on your wall? watch this short video before you buy!
2) Never store your paintings in areas where there is too much sunlight exposure. This is harmful for your precious possessions, your costly paintings collections. Avoid keeping stored paintings near air conditioner vents, windows and doors for harmful environmental exposure in from of blast of  wind, sunlight,  rains etc.

3) Cover your prized oil and acrylic paintings collections with soft muslin cloth when not hanged on walls. Any soft cloth that will not damage the texture in your paintings.
4) In case  of framed  paintings in glass, collages and other types of artworks   very important to pack them  carefully in wooden boxes or some containers to protect them from harm.  Label them, handle with care and which side up to open the next time someone gets back to them.
5) Keep your prized costly paintings safe, in safety lock, as  many works of famous artist are worth a fortune and many art collections value with art collectors goes  in many millions of  $. Good locks and safety security measures  for your art collections. Many have regulated temperature rooms for storing prized costly paintings from their art collections. There are also storage safe vaults for storing artworks but they are very costly so only few  really precious artworks can be listed, insured and stored here.
6) Insure the art collection, especially costly artworks of famous artists, from a reputed insurance company, it is better to be safe than sorry, for unexpected crises and unnatural disasters.
7) Once in a  while clean up all your paintings by keeping them in good  condition. Oil painting conservation at home demonstration by The Red Pilgrim short video. How to clean costly paper paintings short video demonstration.
 In case any painting  needs restoration or repair do it promptly as  the damage sometimes to your precious paintings when delayed becomes irreparable and also costs a lot from  a  reputed restoration artist.

Finally do show off your prized collections once in a  while! we all know the glint in the eyes of any art collector when  they talk of their art collections and prized possessions. Have a show for private guests, art  galleries and art shows,  and also keep rotating hanging new art in your homes and offices so that your paintings also get to do the  most important thing, breathe!
While on this spiritual journey, the red pilgrim,  as I continue to paint ...
I wish to make simple colorful understandable art, art that heals...symbols that work!

Important Feng Shui for Artists and Painters How to boost your artists career using feng shui

Important feng shui rules for artists for prosperity shared here in this post.
 How to boost your artists career using feng shui. Artists career graphs shoots from extreme highs to extreme lows, sometimes when you have a successful show you are glad you did it, and when not so good you wonder who started this.
Myth number one, artists are a rich lot!Artists career is not like any other career where you get the pay check at the end of every month.  People who are earning lots have given their life for this, and you will too, there are no mistakes or accidents in natures law, there are only lessons to be learned. Success  is proportionate to the efforts you put in , the years of toiling behind the canvas, the resources used up in paints, the extra cash saved for another artwork, the time and energy you have put up for your artist career, every bit matters.

Rizwana A Reiki Healing artist India

Feng shui helps to balance energies in yourself and your environment, bringing about happiness, success and prosperity.
Clean up the mess, artists, yes hardly do we  realize how much clutter accumulates over the years as being an artist. This just does not mean only that your studio is cleaned daily by a servant and looks spic and span from  the front. usually hindrances in career come  from hidden mess clutter. This may be hidden in closet, hidden in form of old unsold paintings or even in your mind as emotional clutter.
Paintings can be arranged and stacked neatly after every few months or years to assess the amount you have and their condition. You may also  improve the old works by adding a few strokes here and here giving new life to the unsold artworks.  This really helps.
Inventory! One important thing which every artists needs is to have a record of their artworks.

Listing my art-making inventory numbering every painting in my artist studio

Arranging organizing my paintings for storing

Now I know this is very difficult especially if you have many paintings, but this is the first step towards success, note down according to size,  or year of paintings, or according to price, use any criteria but have a strong hold on your total  number of paintings, this will be helpful when you want to sell your artworks or present for booking a gallery.
When you sell paintings do keep a record of price and note down the address and telephone numbers of your art collectors, this usually helps in the long run, as say senior artists.

Feng shui your studio for inviting good luck and wealth luck,  keeping in mind to maintain your creativity level. Respect your tools as a surgeon respect and keeps his tools, your brushes and paints, canvas and the place where you paint, the laptop or computer used for uploading works online, the art galleries representing your works, how ever busy you are,  once in a while do clean up everything in your studio.
Finally break the myths and mind blocks that artists need  to have an image of sickly poor starving people!  Artists need to break the  mind set that they need to make art to sell, make art with your heart and soul and you will get the results.
Telephone number, emails and personal artist websites must be updated regularly to welcome prosperity and feng shui wealth.

Hope this helps!  Use Reiki symbol Zonar for abundance-Free Reiki healing arts meditation video YouTube.

Cubism Simple Paintings Small Sized cubism abstract paintings

Works of 2004 and 2005 were  small works done on paper, geometry played a very important role back then, and still does as shapes try to come up in most works except for the fact that they have evolved from simple circles and squares to more evolved feng shui element representations and strong symbolism in my paintings. Sizes of these paintings are 6.5x9.5 Inches.
Abundance  and Happy Sunrise are my favorites among the many small cubism paintings done on oil sketch paper.
Collage making of small works in progress, as if giving new life to the same works, more energy, more color, trying to connect the small works together to complete the puzzle. I did only four big collages of some of these small paintings.
How these small works have come to rescue, works of more than past thirteen years, as they are work energy stored in bundles which are now putting more newness to my art, and as with this new challenge I continue  on this spiritual journey to make healing art, simple colorful understandable art, art that heals..
