Dear Linda:
You didn't post a reference photo so I can't evaluate what your doing in any depth. I would focus on the highest values at this point. You can use your flake white, I would use titanium, and slowly build up those areas the light strikes directly. Values are a relative thing so if you high up one area, the half tones and shadows will need to come up as well.
At a certain point you can paint very thickly and let the brush work show. Make sure everything is dry or you'll lift off the paint layer. Nice to see how quickly you set this up.
