After all this time, still painting Leah. She's been my muse for twenty five years.
Suzy and BT asked about glaze and scumble.
In this particular case glazes and scumbles will be applied to Leah's face when everything I painted today has dried (several days). They are alike in the sense that they're both going to be pigment suspended in lots of medium (i.e. very transparent) applied very thinly. Consequently, the painting underneath will show through. If the transparent mixture on top is darker than the painting underneath it is a glaze if it is lighter it's a scumble. I often use glazes in the shadows of the face to make them rich and glowing and scumbles in the lighted areas (particularly female faces) to give their skin a pearly and glistening quality.
Wish me luck.
