Valentino, this is why I love this forum. It makes me want to try even harder,when I see paintings like yours.
Knowing that at some time in the future, if I can accomplish a portrait ike you have, with this exquisite quality and ability (that you have) has to be uplifting for the spirit and the heart (that you must feel).
I just hope I get to feel, (like you feel) after you accomplished this masterpiece. I would want to bottle it. Congratulations.

I love rendering the flesh tones.
As you can see from the wip shots, in this work I employed layered approach. The skin tones were achieved by both glazing and scumbling in several succesive layers.
Looking at the portrait paintings throughout the history, I noticed that in my favourite ones very important role plays the cool-warm contrast. Some artists, though, use only warm colors
