Title: intro to glazing
Review: Very pretty paintings. Acquaints a just starting artist with systems to incorporate into a routene. Emphasizing the thinking process involved in each space of the project. This book introduces glazing and masking technique to clean wet/dry techniques. 'Blue & Yellow Don't Make Green' is a good introduction to cleaning up & choosing the palette. Between the 2 anyone should be able to jump off and find their direction. The subject matter is very limited but the drawing preparation is applicable to every surface skin, hair, glass, stone, reflections, water, cloth etc etc etc. The idea of treating each individual shape texture & color with equal clarity as if it were something that would last forever like an oil. Clearly delineating all edges of light before applying paint. This can all be applied to action, still life or abstract compositions. I don't think she covers the color issues of glazing and super staining pigments but that can be found a bit of in the Wilcox book.
