Lesson 5 of 12 · 19 min

Granulation and glazing

Use pigments that settle into paper texture, then layer thin transparent glazes for depth.

Lesson notes

  1. Ultramarine and burnt sienna granulate, giving a lovely speckled texture that suits stone, sky and shadow.
  2. A glaze is a thin, transparent layer over a dry one. Wait until the paper is cool to the touch before the next pass.
  3. Three glazes will usually do more than one heavy coat. We build a pebble study in four layers.
