Hello Roy,
I don’t know if this will be right for your work, but I found that applying the paint with a smooth rag (like a well-worn t-shirt) or moist cotton ball worked better that brushes and rollers. I also mixed it in with a bit of clear gesso which gave more flow than glazing medium.

I’m sorry, I can’t answer your question, but there is a wonderful acrylic artist named Jerry Yarnell. He paints a lot of landscape and wildlife. His website is http://yarnellart.com/. I am sure he can and will answer your question. He is an excellent teacher having done PBS series’ for many years.
Hope this helped you. Good luck.

An airbrush may be something worth checking out since you’re looking to achieve a surface with no sign of brush strokes.

For glazing larger areas I would suggest using a sponge roller. I also use the sponge roller for applying my base color or gesso to the canvas as it gives a uniform coverage and creates a little “tooth” so that the paint can grab on as you are working.
