To glaze or scumble?

After doing a search for every post with the word 'glaze' and 'flesh' in it this morning, I have read and reread a lot of old posts and learned alot.

But . . . . I found conflicting, or rather confusing, info about my next step. I'm not sure whether using white in my next step (making it a scumble, I think I have my terms right) OR just use glazes of raw umber, raw sienna and burnt umber. But I need some kind of white to build up the lights, just adding glazes will make this little girl too dark.

I think I need to darken the background next. I think the medium toned background I have now is making it hard for me to judge the tone of the color I put on the face.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing your comments,
Joan
