Two Thin Coats Purple Glaze - Glaze

Two Thin Coats Purple Glaze is a Two Thin Coats paint developed for miniature painters who want a transparent purple filter to enrich, tint, and unify layered color schemes. As part of the Two Thin Coats paint range by Duncan Rhodes, this glaze is designed for advanced techniques that enhance depth without obscuring underlying detail.

The deep, slightly cool purple tone of Purple Glaze is especially effective for shading magical effects, enriching cloth, enhancing shadows, and adding tonal depth to skin and armor, making it a versatile tool for both fantasy and sci-fi miniature painting. It allows painters to introduce subtle color variation or deepen hues without repainting base layers.

Like other Two Thin Coats miniature paints, it features a smooth consistency and controlled flow, but is specifically formulated for transparency rather than coverage. This makes it ideal for glazing, blending transitions, and refining highlights. Multiple thin layers can be applied to gradually build intensity while preserving fine detail and maintaining a consistent finish

Within the wider Two Thin Coats range, Two Thin Coats Purple Glaze operates outside the traditional shadow–midtone–highlight triad system, instead functioning as a refinement tool. Glazes are used to unify transitions, enhance saturation, and subtly shift color temperature across painted surfaces. Notably, this glaze has a slightly darker character, allowing it to behave almost like a soft shading filter in certain applications
