Olena,
You have a very charming scene here and I wish you luck with the completion of it.

I think that the trick is to separate the light from the shadows.

The girl is sitting on a porch, and partly in the shadow, so the light values on her shaded dress and skin will be darker than it appears on the painting.

I have manipulated your photo to make more simple masses of light and shade. Mostly concentrating on darkening the objects that are in the shadow.
