Renee, I'd love to see your portrait show. Nice feeling, lovely light. Skin tones are light-dependent, as everything else, it can be misleading to think in terms of 'Caucasian baby skin tones' (sorry, Karin), particularly if this takes you away from seeing and painting in terms of light on the skin / form. Speaking of light on form, here's where I have some problems. Some of the areas, particularly above the eyes, read (in this scan) too bluish or greyish. Maybe it's your technique, lovely, painterly, but I bit on the 'wooly' (I don't want to call it 'splotchy', 'cause it's not) side. There's also an area on the jawline (exposed to the light) which doesn't read quite as 'baby form'.

I do want to see your portrait show. Let me know where it's gonna be!
