I am not an underpainter, but it appears to me that your underpainting was too dark, and confused the progress of this painting rather than aided it. You arrived near the finish with the light airy atmosphere, but started out in a dark and gloomy one. Along the way, it appears that the values of the skin tones became disconnected from the surrounding, a plan that is risky. There still seems to be a bit of distance between the skin tone values and the values of the environment. But it is really coming along now.
