Answer 1

GLAZE is the element applied to paintings, typically oil painting, to create a luminous effect.

Glaze is a thin, oily, transparent layer of paint applied over the top of an opaque dried oil painting.

Light travels through the glaze and is reflected back off of the opaque layer below the glaze. This gives out a luminous effect on the oil painting.
