After 20 years of teaching transparent glazing, I have developed the Arleta Pech's Glazing Viewer.
Based on the transparent color theory I teach in ALL my workshops.
The Pech Viewer can show you a color BEFORE you paint it on your painting!
Take the guess work out of which color of glaze to paint next.
The viewer is NOT paint brand specific or medium specific.
But instead a General range of Transparent Primary colors.
I've used it with Watercolor, Fluid Acrylics to Transparent Oils
The colors are printed very smooth on clear acetate, and are permanent.

As A Thank you the glazing viewer comes with a simple glazing chart
and Instructions to walk you through using it!

The Viewer IS MADE WITH SEE THROUGH Colored acetate
DESIGNED with the COLORS and VALUES THAT I TEACH WITH!!!
ABOVE a SIMPLE way to use the Pech viewer is to lay it on your painting
"You can see through it" to see how any single color glaze will look on your painting.
THE EXAMPLE ABOVE: Notice how the blue/green section window make the rose look purple.
So the blue would be a good thin glaze of color to make the shadows in the rose's crevices deeper.
See how one glaze of color looks on your painting, before you paint.
There are 5 values of blue showing in the photo, so you can see if you
need more than one glaze of blue.
Back of viewer shows how the rings of color line up-AND THEY ROTATE, see below.

Here is a SIMPLE step by step lesson
to show you how I use the viewer to paint 3 glazes on a leaf.
Step 1.
I start by laying the viewer on the leaf to decide which yellow to use.
I want to paint my first glaze, and the viewing window is set on yellow.
Once I decide that I want to start with yellow, I will paint that color on the leaf to the right.
Step 2.
I have painted my leaf the yellow, using the viewer
as a guide to decide on the value my yellow paint should be
for a first glaze. Glazes work best when painting with light values,
and building values one glaze at a time.
Step 3.
HERE'S THE MAGIC of the Viewer!!
I want to decide WHICH blue to use, so I laid the
viewer on my yellow painted leaf. You can see how
the window looks green, that is the yellow paint
of the leaf shining though the blue acetate, making it LOOK green
just like the glaze of blue will do when you paint.
THAT is the magic of GLAZING one color at a time!!!!!!!!
I like the cool blue green hue and how it looks on top of the yellow.
So that is what I will paint my next glaze with.
Step 4.
Below is what my leaf looked like after the blue green glaze.
The viewer is such a great tool to see how EACH Glaze affects the HUE you see.
NOW here is another way to use the viewer:
YOU CAN ALSO turn the # Tabs (2-3-4-5) to see up to five layers of any combination of the viewers colors.
BUT ONLY if you want to see what several layers of colors will look like.
You don't have to turn the tabs, unless you want to just play, or to think "AHEAD"
what would this color look like on top of this color!
Step 5. Playing with the rotating TABS (2-3-4-5) of COLOR RINGS
In the photo below, I have turned the #2 tab so that the blue green hue is over the yellow window.
Then I moved the #3 tab so that the cool red is over the yellow and blue
This shows me what a cool red glaze on top of my yellow and green glazes would look like.
I use buttons of Kneaded eraser to keep my tabs from moving while I play with other tabs.
I could do this two ways, just lay the red window over the painted
leaf. OR turn the tabs to see all my glazes before I paint. (see photo below with the tabs turned
in the same order has I painted my leaf)
In the Photo below I turned the #3 tab so see what the
red acetate look like on top of the blue and yellow acetate.
AND it shows me how much darker the value will become when
the red is glazed.
IT can be used at ANY STAGE OF A Painting. OR to think out
the order of your glazes. OR see what Five values of one color
will look like.
The Pech Glazing viewer is helpful in learning this Luminous glazing process !!!!
