I think you should do the best painting your judgment allows. If that means head and shoulders, and the canvas will need to be 20 x16, than that's what they should get. You can dramatize scale with the frame.

But don't paint a giant head, unless giant heads are your signature.

You can desaturate the red with its complement, but I personally wouldn't try to change the color unless I planned to work the whole painting from a grayscale. There's a LOT of reflected color in the face.
