Celeste, thank you so much for responding! don't excuse yourself as not being the experts as some are here, as I really (! really!) appreciate your input. It is always great to have somebody look at a painting with fresh eyes and you see things I have not seen before. Such as the darkness of the shadow of the neck.......thanks for that pointer!
As to the mixing of colours.......aarch....er...hmm....well....
I don't have a clue.......I don't mix that organised, I hardly know what the colours I use are called (well actually I only have three primary colours, and black and white) and I stir around paint on my palette so much, that I don't know what I mixed with what. I just look on my pallette for the right colour and if I can't see it, I add what is needed to an existing colour.
You might feel the highlights need warming up and the coolness provides a look of 'chalkyness'. Interesting, I will definitely have a good look at the original. I think I kept it cool, to suggest an outside light, instead of a warm electrical light indoors.
Thank you so much, again, for your reply!!
