Isn't is amazing what a difference a layer of paint can make? This photo shows the result of one glaze over the initial glaze, and already you can see the greens emerging. Once again, only blue, yellow, or red has been used.

Remember, if a layer of paint is needs to be totally dry before you glaze over it. If it isn't totally dry, the new glaze will merge and mix with it, ruining the effect.
