Virginia,
Turpenoid doesn't have a smell. I accidentally bought a tube water mixable oil paint and I didn't like it. There are other brush cleaners that do not have a smell.
I know that you are planning on adding to your underpaint so I wanted to offer one observation. The face seems a little elongated to me. This may be how the subject looks, though. If that's the case, ignore my post! The detail in the eyes, hair, and shirt look good.
