Made New: making glass

The lines are complete allowing the glazing to begin.

I have washed in a few overall layers to unify the composition, and started working on the shadows and highlights. As the glazes build, the colors become much more vibrant, allowing light to penetrate and reflect through the individual layers of color.

For this work, I am using a more loose glazing process that involves adding some directional strokes within the washes to provide a visual texture of stained glass. They cannot be seen from a short distance, but provide some interest at the work is viewed closer.

With about seven layers done overall, the process is still just beginning.
