Hi Susan,

Another idea--you could leave the glaze alone, but repaint the parts of the background that are closer, i.e. middle distance. You can grey the colors slightly with the same 3 colors, but not as much as they were greyed (or browned) by the glaze. That would give you an illusion of different degrees of distance. Of course, I have no idea what the background is like, so this is a purely hypothetical solution.
