Unifying Glaze

Again I am amazed at how a thin glaze of raw umber, or sienna, when applied over a large portion of the painting acts to unify it. Any transparent or semi transparent color can be used really.

The glaze can be very very thin and the effect it has on the individual passages is almost imperceptable. But when seen as a whole, it can tie everything in the painting together.
