Notice a difference in how the paint glides or flows with ease and how AGL reduces brush stroke retention. Too much Acrylic Glazing Liquid will create a transparent, glaze color. Next, paint the foreground with predominately Cadmium Red Light blended with a bit of Hansa Yellow Opaque. Use Titanium White to highlight the edge of the table in the foreground. The base coat for the pear is Hansa Yellow Opaque.
Colors used for the base coat are opaque.
A thick base coat is desired to reduce the absorbency of the substrate, resulting in a longer working time. In step two AGL will be used for blending. Squeeze a small pool of AGL onto the palette, a dollop of Cobalt Titanate Green, Cobalt Turquoise and Titanium White. Apply a thin layer of AGL over the entire background. Use AGL to enhance the flow and slow down drying so we can spend time blending the colors together.
