Your absolutely right in that the photo is not in any way equal to the colors from the live model.

It appears that Mischa and Sargent went to the same school when it comes to their approach to the portrait. Your advice on painting the eyes is going to be very helpful. The reason the eyes are so light at this stage is that I like to paint in the highlight color first and then glaze in the darker areas as I think it gives more life to the eyes.

Thank you so much for the mixing suggestions this is an area that I've become very interested in since joining this site.

Thank you again Alexandra for taking the time to instruct and encourage me.
