Hi Chris,
Thanks so much for your feedback! You have no idea how helpful it is. In fact, your book on skin tones has been my main resource the past several months. (I definitely need to re-read the section on light temperature.) Sadly, my daughter is 18 now, so a photo retake won't work. I may be able to co-opt a friend's baby or find another reference photo for the hands.
Yes, the difficulties with watercolor is one of the reasons I'm moving toward oils. I've registered for a 2-week workshop in July at Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia. Until then, I'm self taught, so your critique is extremely appreciated.
