Glazing in acrylic painting;
There´s no painting rule that say you must paint using glazes, but it´s something that shouldn´t  be rejected
A glaze is simply a thin, transparent layer or coat of paint , is simply building up color by applying transparent layers of coats ,.- each glaze modifies the color of what is already been painted over the canvas
Each glaze tints or modifies the color of the paint beneath, mixing optically and giving a rich color.- for the following excercise Ref PO623 I used tint over acrylic
