Linda,
This sounds like that back to the future thing. These concepts keep me constantly confused along with black holes, Micronesia and women.
About transparent glazing, I think the black can be thined down and glazed over the opaque white. Although as I recall my approach, with very few exceptions, led me to always have some opaque white in the mixture. Then the transparency starts to diminish pretty quickly.
I actually started this to be only in sienna but very early switched to black. I have received a lot of positive reaction to this at my studio. I'm thinking of offering this as a less expensive alternative to oil color. It was certainly less difficult and time consuming for me. I certainly look forward to working from my own reference. I really don't like the way the light has modeled the face in this photo.
As for James Dean, my search came up with this ...
