To make an oil glaze, begin with a transparent oil based blend and glaze, add alkyd paint and thinner. The intensity of the color will be determined by the amount of oil paint added to the mix.
Basic recipe: 1 part blend and glaze, 1 part oil based paint and 1 part thinner. Experiment from there.
HINT: Alkyd (oil) glazes stay wet the longest and allow the most manipulation time.
