I use glazes throughout any of my acrylic paintings. For this little Cardinal painting, I used them for adding depth, colour and shading. Glazes allow us to adjust these aspects of our paintings without having to paint over entire areas and starting from scratch. The layering of the paints is key but I find glazes help to being the layers together. - - - Reference photo: Chris Chow from Unsplash | Zara's Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art
