Hi Marvin,
I guess I'm a little confused on the whole scumbling/glazing thing. Mainly because I picked up on stuff 'here and there' and then just push things around until I get what I want. (that sounds like a bad description of me....I'm really a very nice guy) I was taught in school and by reading a book by Ken Davies that glazing was actually a part of scumbling......or is it the other way around?
I actually use a version whereby I "scumble" on transparent layers in the finishing touches of my work. I do this with degrees of glazing medium. I find that I use variants of this as well, ie., different grades of opacities, if you please.
Would you, in your wonderful mentoring mode, please explain exactly what glazing is and where it came from. Oh, and scumbling..... what is the origin of that technique?
Your students await with Liquin in one hand and "dry" paint in the other........
