Cindy hi, Just got back from fitness class my wife and I go to.

I really appreciate you taking the time. This will certainly help.

Thank you!

Mischa,

Even though the lighting isn't ideal, at least it is directional and interesting.

I'll see how this looks when I post it, but I tinkered in Photoshop with Image-adjust-levels to gain a full value range, then with image-adjust-photofilter-blue to try to compensate for the white balance problem in the source photo.

I look forward to seeing this painting as it happens, it is more like a demo-in-progress

Yummy blue highlights!

Ok, I did push the shadows dark but wiped it off. I would love to do this the Caravaggio look but I need to have this one close to the executive look.

This is what is done so far. The background, blocked in the big shapes, attempted to establish a natural skin hue and experimented with keeping the values in a day time setting, with a single light source.

Please feel free to critique and give suggestions (I do not mind if you make marks or adjustment on the image).

Thank you ever so much!
