I'm surprised that there isn't much in depth information on scumbling on the internet.

One thing I'm confused on is that with scumbling, an opaque layer of paint is meant to cover the underpainting. Does this cover the underpainting completely or mostly so it's used more as a guide for the upper layers? How much of the painting underneath supposed to show? Is the under painting meant to be a grisaille or is it just exaggerated color that's toned down with the scumble?

Thanks for the info on this Marvin. I did look at that demo on your website and I think that I'm getting confused since you have a grisaille layer and also the overstated layer. With the scumble, is medium used to thin it so it goes on easier or is it just straight from the tube and worked outward?

Another thing I was wondering is if the process of painting as shown on your website helps you to complete a piece faster then common painting techniques used today? On average, how long does it take you to complete a painting?

Thanks again.
