What are glazes?
Glazes: Which to use
Alkyd glazes, the traditional medium of decorative painters, stay wet and workable longer than either washes or late glazes and produce a beautiful translucent finish. Mistakes are easy to correct by wiping paint off with a rag dipped in thinner. An alkyd glaze gives a rich, deep finish that is ideal for marbling, sponging off and ragging off.
Latex washes are easier to use and clean up with water.
