OIL PAINTING TIPS: How to Glaze, Scumble, and . . . GLUMBLE?

[@darrinarmijo-wardle3662]

This is best demo of glazing I’ve seen. Lots of artists treat glazing like it’s a state secret- thanks for sharing!

[@oliviaroseink]

Seriously! I’ve been looking for a demonstration like this.

[@fluxlx6451]

I bought some of his full, in depth courses and they are worth every cent!!

that lady did not blink once when you dabbed that paint on her face

[@joseramonmarintebar6258]

Absolutely amazing. You are a insanely talented artist. Seems the girl is just going to talk...

[@paulstratton9228]

That is one of the best explaination`s for glazing techniques i have seen thanks.

[@zivauri]

I am ready for this! As I have now perfected Bumbling.

[@leo47443]

You're a true master Scott, many thanks from Italy.

[@MindfulAttraction2.0]

I knew u went to gca just by the quality of your portrait

[@casperthegm741]

I've watched a few of your videos now and I must commend you on your down to earth teaching technique; the combination of clearly speaking/explaining, while you are applying various techniques is perfect. And of course your work is fantastic.

[@hd-xc2lz]

Agree on all points, would only add that I enjoy his speed of presentation. Intro is kept to a minimum, and he quickly gets down to the matter.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Bravo, maestro! Thanks. Another brilliant video! A pedantic point: scumbling is the reverse of glazing. While glazing is painting a (semi-) transparent colour over a lighter preparation, scumbling is a (semi-) transparent lighter colour over a darker preparation. A glaze always shifts its hue towards orange, while a scumble shifts its hue towards blue. The Old People used scumbling to create the beautiful optical greys that one sees in their paintings. At least this is what I was taught back in the late 1960s in Italy when I was learning how to paint.

[@ArielGulluni78]

Another "pedantic point": the deffinition are endless, and painters, restorers, researchers and conservators doesn't agree about it, and its ok that happens that way (different schools of thought, different language, different evolution of words and differetn usages). One deffinition that many historians of the technical aspects of painting use is that a true glaze happens when the refraction index of the pigment is closer to the vehicle -linseed oil, just suppose- (to name just one, Noëlle Streeton, foremost Van Eyck expert, but they are many more) A glazing/glacis is like a colored, limpid glass . A veil/velature in the other hand happens when we use diluted a pigment that by nature is opaque or semiopaque, so even diluted doesn't form a true glass-like film. A scumble is in a way like a veil, but its name also implies a why of execution, similar to a frottis. All this are definitions, variables and in concrete applications, as Scott suggest, many times happens nor a true glaze nor a true veil, because most of the things happens "in between".

[@dalescher]

Michael, thank you for your comment. Could you please explain why a glaze always shift its hue towards orange and a scumble towards blue? I can't find any reason behind that.

[@LeanneFan8]

@@dalescher i had the same question. For the scumbling, I'm assuming because white pigment mixed with another pigment makes it a cooler hue, but i'm not sure about how the glazing makes it oranger... maybe because glazing often uses warmer colors such as burnt umber?

[@susanroberts1400]

Great job ❤ loved this

[@archaen2321]

The glazing section here is technically a velatura, which is like a glaze but done with opaque or semi-opaque pigments. It lends a more gauzy/foggy feeling than a glaze of transparent colors. A velatura brings the area towards the color mixed - moving both light and dark passages - where a glaze darkens everything, often moving the area towards a color darker than both the glaze color and the color on the substrate. If Scott had continued the velatura over the shadow area of the cheek it would have lightened that area. Transparent pigments are weird. Take permanent alizarin and mix it with ultramarine and you'll end up with a purple that is somehow darker than either color you started with. Note: I love Scott and think this is a great video. I just wanted to offer some more information for people to research and play with in their studios. The pigments you use to add transparent or semi-transparent passages matter, so play around with it! From left to right Scott's preferred colors are opaque, opaque, opaque, transparent, opaque, transparent.

Have you done a video about your brushworks? I wonder how you achieve this extremely smooth surface, it’s impressive! Plz make a tutorial about this subject!

Amazing video and we'll executed! I used to paint with oils, but I'll try these techniques with acrylics.

[@janet4900]

You are the best, Scott and humble, too ! Thanks for showing us how you do it. I know exactly what you mean, when you step back and see a small version of your photo, and the shadows as a whole are not working. Also, I am going to try the same palette you use. I think I have been using too many colors, and its causing lack of 'color harmony'. Best wishes, from Louisiana.

[@raoarw1859]

[@squintymcginty2560]

Just what I needed to know. Thank you for this. I'll be referring to this a fair bit I reckon.

[@paulcorfield_artist]

Oleogel from Rublev or Oleo Impasto Medium from Michael Harding works well as it doesn't bead up like linseed oil often does. It's just linseed oil and silica, one of my favourite mediums for glazing etc.

[@hichamtakache8465]

Thanks for the valuable tips. I learned that glasing should only be done with transparent colors as additional mediums may not be recommended for the durability of the layer.

When I glumble I have a hard time moving the paint around. Yours is gliding across the canvas so easily! Should I add some solvents like you did with the glazing process? c:

[@whisperatnight5877]

[@ThomasJojo]

Awesome. Question; do you glace with oil+paint only? Not terpentine into it? If so why and what's the difference? Brgds T.

[@feliciaeze1143]

So...the previous layer has to be dry before using any of these techniques? And I really enjoyed the video.

[@mariannevannunen263]

Thank you very much for your clear explanation. but your surface is very slippery. what kind of cloths do you use and what materials do you use to prepare your cloths. Another question which oil do you use the most for your glazing. love to know which brushes go with what, thank you. Definitely go see more of how you work and with what materials.

Your canvas when making brush grumbling on her nose, you make her NOSE MOVE, as if she is all ready part REAL LIFE. ENJOYED , THANK you will watch again paint colors used on eye, and parts of face. Some people are using BLUE RIDGE. from NC. and really like it. I try to you the words in ENGLISH. but does not show it. . Hearing is not easy , when surrounded with so much noise, or when need to be quietly listening, when everyone is sleeping..

Hi, can flaxseed oil sold in grocery stores for human ingestion be used as a working substitute for artist quality linseed oil?

Thank you for this tip. I'm about to do some glazing on a painting but I might try glumbling instead. Do you have any effective methods for scraping off paint if you need to redo an area?

[@davonte_bailey]

Do you work alla prima? If not how are you able to keep working after areas have dried?

[@juancarlosmartinlopezgarci5444]

Thanks.

[@radurobert1]

I saw a video in which someone mentioned that glazing must be done with perfectly transparent colors in order to be real glazing . What you're doing is not glazing but other method

[@romulusbuta9318]

TRUE ☝️

[@eu210495]

But but but... What about fat over lean "rule". That glaze will be very fragile. And if you varnish your work it is possible to destroy de glaze because of the solvent from the varnish componence wich will be too invasive in this situation.... I mean.. It happened to my paintings several times in the past. And it was very annoying.
