Painting Class with Zack: Glazing Basics
Painting Class with Zack: Glazing Basics
Join us for an in-depth Glazing Basics Painting Class and take your miniature painting to the next level!
For just $30, this class will introduce you to one of the most versatile and essential techniques in the hobby: glazing. Glazing is the process of applying multiple layers of extra-thin paint to subtly tint colors, smooth transitions, and maintain consistent texture—without building up thick layers of acrylic. It’s a powerful tool for painters looking to refine their blending and achieve cleaner, more professional-looking results.
Throughout the session, you’ll learn:
- How to properly thin paints for glazing
- Techniques for smoothing harsh transitions and layering
- Practical applications for tinting and color adjustment
- When to use glazing versus pre-made washes
We’ll also tackle the age-old painter’s question: when should you use a pre-bottled wash, and when is a glaze the better choice?
This class is perfect for beginners looking to expand their skills as well as experienced painters wanting to refine their technique. We supply the miniature, brushes and paints, just come and get ready to elevate your painting game!
