Hi Denise!
Great project, painting and source. Nice job so far. My first observation is the difference of color up and down the face where the light turns. At the top and neck, it is ocher. On the cheek, it is alizarin. I realize that in the photo there is a bit of ocher on the forehead and neck where the light turns. Photos don't lie, do they? Well, yes they do. And in a painting, these differences stand out more than they do in a photo. You may consider toning down the ocher, or changing the color base you are using there to something less hot. It may need to have more consistency where the light turns.
I understand how ocher-type colors really look bad on digital. But, I have also learned that the digital camera is a cool tool to tell you when you are overstepping a color. Sometimes you can use the digital as a means to measure the temperature of your colors and their usability. This is a good time in the painting to change these colors. However, if you didn't change a thing, it would work.
All for now!
