How to apply antiquing glaze for a look from a gently-aged patina finish to strong highlights.
Antiquing furniture, cabinets and millwork is a time-honored tradition that artisans have used for hundreds of years to both add a patina of age and/or visual interest to just about anything. Even during the Renaissance, artists would add a patina of age to an object to imitate antiquity. Michelangelo was known to be (of course) great at this.
Applying and then rubbing off a thin, colored glaze over a painted surface will leave vestiges of color hanging in the voids to enhance them visually. It also helps to finish a multi-color scheme by unifying the different colors with a neutral element. The unifying element being, of course, a colored glaze.
Tools:
-Application brushes
-Cotton Cheese Cloth (cheap grade)
-Cotton rag
Products used:
-GPW Glazing Medium
-Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics (SDFA)
Raw Umber
Yellow Oxide
