Technically speaking, as I understand the terms, a scumble (which contains white) lightens what is underneath it and a glaze darkens it.

Reasonable minds have discussed the terms at length at http://forum.portraitartist.com/show...ight=scumbling and elsewhere on this Forum.

question Transparent or opaque?

Hi Linda,

Thank you so much for that thread. I actually did read that about 2 weeks ago but now I've printed it out. So much to remember!

I do have one question. With a scumble, should I be paying attention to whether I'm using transparent colors or opaque colors? I've read a lot of Karin Wells posts and with glazing, it seems very important to glaze with transparent colors. But, does it matter with scumbles?

Thank you,

Joan
