luminous depth? best glazing techniqe (w/out magic mediums)
so what's the best way to get luminous depth? my instinct says:

1) extremely bright underpainting (flake white)
2) lighter glaze layers (lean, diluted w/ turpentine only?)
3) medium hues, (more fatty oil, glaze compounds)
4) topmost darks (whatever, at least transparent)
5) finishing layers

Sound about right? SO many light layers is the best path you think? I'm not convinced that any 'magic' medium is the answer. But does this philosophy sound good? I'm just starting out. If you can recommend a good white underlayer, or a good light light light glazing technique that build up luminous layers, please let me know!!
