Glazed and confused

Karin,

My purpose was not to confuse. My point was to indicate that there are many different ways of building paintings, a variety of approaches to creating under paintings and a multitude of techniques concerning how to build a painting.

In terms of layering thick over thin layers, I was issuing a warning against improperly laying paint over a thicker under layer. A glaze layer can be safely applied over thicker layers when they are sufficiently dried.
