Because you can see through a glaze, it will be lighter and brighter in the light and show less contrast (or maybe not visible at all) in the shadows.

Hi Karin -
Well, don't you make it look effortless!
I understand the part about glazing the sets of stripes one way, then the other... just not sure that I'm following the part about matching the glazed blue color with a mixture of blue and white to match what is underneath for the highlighted portions. Is the intent of this step to make the highlighted areas more opaque? (So that I'd be exactly matching the color of each highlighted square (or part square) as it's painted?) Or am I completely misunderstanding?
Thanks so much for the advice!
