Dear Scott,
Thanks for your reply. Here is the reference photo. I just grabbed one form the pile. The model is backlit with her face in the shadow, not an ideal portrait, but I just wanted to get the feel of layering with transparents using this method. I would use flake white instead of the zinc, since I have no zinc , but I will use titanium/ zinc mix for the high lights(since I have no titanium). I should have used plain flake white rather than the transparent flake white, which has almost disappeared altogether. The burnt umber did not come up at all, even though I scrubbed the white over it. I appreciate your help. We'll see how long this takes to dry.
With egg tempera all of the paint is translucent, so layering is the only way you can go.
