Dear Chris & Renee,

Thank you for your comments, they are always much appreciated.

Apologies for not getting back sooner, I have been away.

Chris,

Yes, I was using Cad. Red medium, maybe that is why it didn't quite work! luckily I have both Vermillion and Cad. Red light, so I can now call my palette complete. No, I wasn't as much concerned about the likeness to your painting of 'Isabel', as I was to my use of an alternative to Cad. Scarlet. I will try a few more of the exercises in your book to get used to the new palette before I post again. I did not expect to get it right first time, it was, as I stated just an exercise.

Renee,

Yes, I see now (comparing it to Chris's Isabel) that you are right. However, as it is on a board I think that I will just crop it. I know that this will spoil the composition somewhat, but it was mostly an excercise on skin tones and getting used to a new palette.
