Thank you Karin for reading and replying to my post. I will try it out the way you mentioned, and see how it goes! Hopefully, I won't mess it up again.
I do have some more questions about glazing:
1. For the face (or other skintone parts), for example, do you glaze the whole area with say, burnt umber, and then go over it with an opaque mixture of skintone immediately on the light areas, and blend it in (I think this is what I would do). Or, do you glaze the shadow parts separately, and put the opaque paint on the light parts, and blend both parts in?
2. Do you sand your painting in between at all for your glaze work? I did my underpainting all with pure paint (white + raw umber), and was going to go over it one more time (a scumble), just white + raw umber with medium, let it dry, sand it down a bit, before applying colours. Am I doing it right?
3. I know that I have wait for the paint to dry before put layer of glaze on. Does that mean dry to the touch? I read somewhere, somebody mentioned that you have to wait for several weeks between each glaze. But then I also read somewhere else, that you can glaze two or three days after. My paint dry to the touch in about two days, with the medium that I use. Is that safe to put a glaze on?
I hope I am not asking too many questions! I am a bit nervous of getting it all messed up again!
Sincerely,
Mai
