Janet hi, Your sitter is lovely. The proportions are looking good. Now, I would strongly suggest that you consider stepping back to the value and dead color stage. You are jumping ahead to the small forms to soon.

First establish your big darks and your big lights. Define these planes at their correct values than work in the half tones to make the big form turn. After that work the smaller planes in the lights paying particular attention to the values within the lights. Next tackle the forms in the shadows. I suggest that you consider keeping the warmth of the color a tad on the cool side. It will not be to difficult to warm it up later. Try not to think about eyes and noses rather tons and shapes

Wish you all the best.
