Thanks Tom, I was hoping a Pro would jump in here.

Michelle and Kim to just add the basics from a non pro in training. scumbling is like glazing with the exception of two things.

From my understanding of what I have read posted by Karin, when you glaze it is usually over an under-painting that is done monochromatic, it also involves using "transparent" colors in a medium(I am not sure if the medium is true).

To scumble, you are usually working on a painting which is to a certain point, colors and all. You add an opaque paint, or transparent if that is what color is called for, and by using a medium to thin the paint; some use cold press linseed or a mix of their choice to thinly paint over the areas you want to work with. I made sure the color just barely showed through the medium.
