Ole Inness did lots and lots of glazing, like Maxfield Parrish. He also did it wisely and well so that much of his work is still in good shape. I have issues (boy do I) but I have issues with the term tone and thereby tonalist. I'm thinking of early French and English landscapes and Americans that studied there like John Twatchman in his early days as tonal paintings. These are very flat and moody w/o lots of detail amd I wish I had one painting in particular to post.
I think Inness was Turner and Church influenced and took this further with tons of colored varnish glazing. When you stare closely at the work in person you can see the layers glazed over well painted colorful "underpainting".
