Scrumbling
Enzie,
I use scrumbling technique to achieve this glow. Sometimes I'll even use two or three different colors to achieve the wonderful translucent glow illusion. I usually use an opaque paint to scrumble with, although I have occasionally used a more translucent paint with interesting effect.
I use a worn out brush as scrumbling wrecks havoc on a brush. Make sure the brush paint load has been wiped virtually dry on a paper towel before applying to the canvas. Try out your color selections on a scrap piece of canvas before applying the scrumbling technique to your painting. Don't be afraid to apply a complementary color to create a vibrancy as it can bring real life to skin tones.
