Thank you, Mike

Thank you Mike, I did see that thread yesterday morning when I did my search. I read the whole thing and the info about backgrounds was helpful, but I find I am looking for some specific advice on:

1. glazing fleshtones using zinc white (I believe this would be a scumble) vs. glazing using only translucent glazes. That is my dilemma.

2. And just how dark the underpainting should be. I have some experimenting to do ahead of me. I did not make it darker than 50/50 mix of titanium white and raw umber on the face.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I'm glad somebody out there is going through the posts and generously taking time to reply. It really is so generous of everyone to give up even a few minutes of their time to post advice to help someone else. I appreciate it tremendously.

Joan
