On my White Lightning strobe, I set the slider on the back to 1/2 power and keep my model light on at all times.
This setting may or may not work for you depending on your ambient light, distance from subject, etc.
Reading the manual (and taking notes) will be worth the time and effort it takes. Expect to experiment a LOT and Good luck!
BTW, this is a really cute pose for the little children's portrait, but beware of open mouths with teeth showing...this can be tricky (to say the least) to paint. Also, maybe this ought to be a vertical painting rather than a horizontal one?
I think that this kind of picture is best posed in a studio with controlled lighting...much less of a hassle to paint...
