OIL PAINTING TIPS: How to Glaze, Scumble, and . . . GLUMBLE?

My favorite thing is when artists take regular techniques and ideas we all use and act as if they invented them....so, I present to you: GLUMBLING! Yes, that's right, when you add a little oil to your paint and blend it out, that's glumbling. And I made that up. It's mine. Obviously kidding...but still, I hope there's something useful in this video. I do practice these techniques all the time to correct my paintings.

This is best demo of glazing I’ve seen. Lots of artists treat glazing like it’s a state secret- thanks for sharing!

Bravo, maestro! Thanks. Another brilliant video!
A pedantic point: scumbling is the reverse of glazing. While glazing is painting a (semi-) transparent colour over a lighter preparation, scumbling is a (semi-) transparent lighter colour over a darker preparation. A glaze always shifts its hue towards orange, while a scumble shifts its hue towards blue. The Old People used scumbling to create the beautiful optical greys that one sees in their paintings.
At least this is what I was taught back in the late 1960s in Italy when I was learning how to paint.

I've watched a few of your videos now and I must commend you on your down to earth teaching technique; the combination of clearly speaking/explaining, while you are applying various techniques is perfect. And of course your work is fantastic.
