It occurred to me that some people may not understand exactly what scumbling is. On my website I have posted a step by step demo I painted in my Atlanta workshop in August 2003. This August I'll be doing a two week long workshop there so I'll have a demo to post that is much more finished.
The right hand image on the next to bottom row shows the result of scumbling over the light areas. The result is a unification both in color and modeling. The scumble is created by thinly applying opaque paint over an area. Depending on how thinly it is applied and how light or dark it is, the scumble will alter the values accordingly and move them closer together. Had I the time to continue the demo I would have scumbled over the last step as well.
