Glazing with an emphasis on the craft of painting

From rear cover notes by the author: "Early Masters such as Rembrandt applied multiple layers of transparent paint to produce the deep, glowing hues and darks which typified their work; darks which seethed with hidden colour. The range of rich hues employed by these earlier painters gave a mysterious depth and intensity to their work, a richness and luminosity which only the glazing technique can give. The aim of this book is to equip today's artist with the technique of glazing developed by the Masters. Lessons from the past brought fully up to date."
