Are the upper layers done with dry brush scumbles with more or less opaque paint? Also, when you show a new step in the animation does that represent one new layer or many new layers?

Dear Claudemir and Michele,
Thanks so much! I see why others do videos now. That would be much easier than what I did.
This demo is posted on the newly established Art and Artistry Forum, up and running since late October. It's a very multi-disciplinary and all encompasing community of artists, and a well mannered bunch.
Michele, I think you are right in that much of the upper layer developments are more or less opaque scumbles to alter and build on the under layers.
The animation steps are partly arbitrary. I was basically just painting, but every so often when I felt something significant had changed in the development, I took a progress photo, thirty in all. The changes in each step may be small or large. To condense the presentation, I combined every three progress shots together forming ten groups of three images each. Each subsequent .GIF animation represents the subsequent three image progressions and there are no overlaps, as useful as that could be in certain instances.
I wish I could post this demonstration directly on this Forum, but if I did it would require significantly scaling it down. Those .GIF files are huge! I am amazed they posted and worked at all. I am glad we can link these and other useful WIP demonstrations from time to time. My preference would be to post the same here too, were it possible.
Thanks again,
Garth
