Your explanation cleared up several areas where I am weak at this form of art.
I appreciated how you also included info on what glazing can accomplish. I have a long ways to go.

I LOVE learning important stuff, like this article. Thank you for your down-to-earth language; and the great examples. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. I got a BFA late in life, so now actually have the time to play with my passion. You made my day brighter and this old woman a bit smarter all in one. Bless you for that.
