Glazing should not be confused with a wash. Oil pant can be used as a wash or even as a stain, but a glaze will be a thin layer of paint rather than a liquid wash. Here are two examples of an oil painting/wash/stain on absorbent primed hardboard, using thinned down paint with turps.

Next, I will show you four examples of a still life done in stages, by glazing. A tonalpainting is completed in black and white. Over this glazes of Lemon Yellow, Ultramarine and Cadmium Red are mixed with linseed oil and applied, in turn, after each coat has dried. This is a time consuming and laborious way of painting. Glazes can, of course, be lain over dry base colours. Certain pigments and paints are more translucent than others. Only pure turpentine should be used as an additional thinners.
