Synonyms for layer tints include glazes, washes, overlays, and gradations. Glazes refer to the application of a transparent layer of color over an existing color. Washes involve applying a thin layer of color to a surface. Overlays involve applying a translucent layer of color over an existing color. Gradations refer to the process of gradually building up layers of color to achieve a desired effect. Each of these synonyms can be used interchangeably with layer tints to create a wide range of artistic effects.
