Here are some sites with some nice glazing tips, that because of a software glitch I am not able to just add to resources as links so I am adding it via post for now,

Peggy Macnamara uses lots of layers in her glazing and comes up with a lot of depth and charachter in her colors, she has a book out (see a link to her site on this blog).

Thanks to Peggy, I am a big fan of glazing and am collecting a few resources for creating a glazing swatch database. So far it doesn’t seem like anyone has done it yet…I suppose I should do a thorough combing through of handprint.com
