three problems

I'm trying to break this down so I can get better responses, although I thank you very much for your suggestion about a focal point.

1. Is the answer to the moving model just finding a better pose? I think she was really trying to be still. She never moved the rest of her body, only her head and fingers, which was a bummer for me, the only one trying to just paint her face.



2. The not seeing the colors as they really were is troubling to me. I knew instinctively that this lady was not blue of course, but that is what I was seeing. Should I just paint blue or compensate?

3. The sideways view, also perplexing, I could turn the picture of the head straight and correct things and then turn it back sideways and NOT see it. I'm curious how other people handle that. I know for sure that I am going to practice with the photo this week to see if I can get any better at seeing sideways.

Thanks again for any suggestions or thoughts!
