Anyway, I'm interested in glazing more for the effect of depth one can get in the shadows by painting with transparent paint than anything else.
This just jumped out at me, so while I'm thinking about it...

When your shadows go dead (too dense and/or too cool) try a thin glaze of cad orange into the deepest parts. it will be like a breath of fresh air - but won't look "orangey" if you're subtle enough, just warm. This orange glaze will also give the shadow a "thin" look. (Remember; shadows thin, light thick).
