Sorry if I was too vague. The problem is (for me, at least) that I start out thinking I'll keep this area or that passage transparent because I want that section to look as though you're looking into the distance -- so to speak. However, as I work here and there on my painting, which included adjusting values, it's not uncommon for these transparent passages to begin to take on a more opaque quality, and thus, lose the sense of depth. The thought occurs to me that one could regain some of that depth, or transparency by painting the picture with not too much worry about transparency, and then, at the end, deciding where you'd like to see more of it -- transparency -- and glazing that section. Thanks for the ideas.
