Glazing with Matt Medium | Winsor & Newton Masterclass
In this masterclass, learn how to create and apply glazes using Matt Medium to enhance depth, harmony and surface finish in your paintings. The term ‘glazing’ refers to the process of applying transparent layers of colour over a dry painting which allows artists to subtly shift tones, unify composition, and control luminosity. You’ll see how mixing a small amount of Matt Medium produces a soft, even glaze that gently mutes underlying hues and reduces surface shine. In comparison, Glazing Medium creates a brighter, more reflective finish. Through side-by-side demonstrations, this session reveals how different mediums affect transparency, colour intensity, and light reflection. Ideal for artists refining their painting technique, this concise tutorial shows how layering multiple glazes can build rich, complex hues and professional surface control.
