Beautiful composition and expression. Oddly, this painting looks as though the figures were painted indoors with incandescent light, due to the warm tones of the flesh. You are afraid to use variety of color in the skin tones, huh? Come on, yes you are! You said there was too much yellow, and you are right.

Funny how we finish a work before realizing that we needed a different base color. The base color could have been palest blue, so as to force you to leave some in for reflection off the wet skin. The warm yellow base color does not achieve that.
