Wow, Renee, it is tough to speak about something that is purely visual...and I fear that sometimes I may be doing more harm than good....
I seldom, if ever, try to match or directly paint the undertones in skin. Those tones are CREATED (automatically) by cooling a halftone by the use of a scumble. If the scumble containes yellows...you get "greenish" tones...and without yellows, they become "blueish".
A GLAZE is a single layer made up of transparent colors + medium...and is allowed to dry.
A SCUMBLE is a single layer made up of opaque colors + medium...and is allowed to dry.
Also, I am not sure what you mean by the term "dry brush"...
Don't be upset if what I say is confusing to you all, remember that there are soooo many ways to paint, that if the way you do it works for you...it is exactly right.
