Linda, you're too kind, but flattery will get you anywhere.
Joan, You're getting a better idea but I think you're still stuck trying to differentiate between two seemingly opposite approaches.
I do put a scumble down as a base to paint wet into, but not all the time. Sometimes I paint over dry and sometimes over an oiled out section. Sometimes I let my underpainting show through. Sometimes intermediate layers show. Although my approach may be mistakenly viewed by many as being too methodical. In truth, it really allows me to be quite spontaneous. I do what works and at times I discover new techniques after my brush a has shown me the way. I discover new things about painting all the time. Ultimately discipline provides the greatest freedom.
