Glazing and medium
Karin!
Perhaps I've missed something. You say "if you add white or any other pigmented paint" (or was it color?) "it becomes a scumble".
My experience seems to be that the important point is the transparency of the pigment. If you use, say, pthalo or transparent quinacridones you definitely don't get a scumble. I agree broadly on white, but even this depends, for example, on whether it is flake, cremnitz, zinc or titanium. All oil paint is pigmented, is it not?
Would you say that whether it's a glaze or a scumble is dependent on the opacity of the pigment? Don't know that it matters as long as the effect is as intended...just intrigued once again by the way art terminology seems to mean different things to different people...
