In addition to Mattys ground breaking insight :D lol

if you\'re trying to make a glaze your water to paint ratio should be in the region of 12:1
you only need to dip your brush in the matt medium otherwise you start \"thickening\" the glaze again

remember, it\'s a glaze, so you\'re trying to use the minimum amount of paint you can get away with, and still have enough pigment in the solution to do the job you want

there is a good glazing article over at Brushthralls, should give you more insight into what you are trying to achieve
