AD: Glass Effect How?

[Affinity iPad Student]

I have checked YouTube and google. No real instruction on how to create basic glass. 
 

Here’s what I’m trying to do. Apologies no image, on my iPhone and I am out and about. 
 

I have a rectangle. 
It’s color is purple. 
I want to make it look like purple glass. 

How?

Opacity alone, doesn’t sell the effect.  
 

any videos or anything in the serif videos section that comes close to demonstrating this for AD on iPad?

 

thank you.

You could try a Gaussian blur as well as the opacity.
