Now most sane painters will apply highlights and shadows using mostly opaque paints and then glaze the transitions to smooth them while shaking our heads sadly at the painters who still want to spend 30 hours painting a single 5mm square patch of miniature. If you got the mix perfect it would dry between brush strokes. Because the first people to popularize this technique were French and we were reading bad babelfish translated tutorials it became known as juicing. In the bad old days people discovered they could apply millions of glazes to create smooth blends. This is often used when highlighting or shading or even creating a transition between two different colours. It isn't meant to pool and I prefer my glazes to be the same viscosity as my paint. Glazing is a thin application of translucent colour over a large or small area intended to subtly change the surface colour. Glaze: Back in the old days GW had both washes and glazes but when I asked their customer care they didn't know what the difference was. However it often pools on flat surfaces and then you need to paint over that pooling and at that point I start to wonder what is the point. In mini painting the goal of a wash is to pool in recesses and provide shading. Wash: A thin application of translucent colour applied broadly over a surface. However Liquitex Acrylic Inks use suspended pigments and Golden High Flow Acrylic Paint is used in pens. The line is blurry here but generally paints are thicker or inks use a dye which is dissolved in the medium while paint uses pigments suspended in medium. This is because in miniature painting almost all washes are meant to add shadows. Shade only recently started to refer to a type of wash. Calling a product a shade or a wash is marketing with the intended technique. If you need to message the modteam or discuss something about the subreddit, please message us through modmail here.
