Hi Chris
You weren't supposed to notice the shadow problem. I'll be darkening the shadows on Nick's hands next and guessing on the shadow pattern on his shirt. I plan to use my other son as the stand in model, with my own shepherd next to him in the same place with same lighting. (My youngest lives with us.) I painted a glaze of the blue-black on Gypsy's shadow side, I'll do it again after this glaze dries. I'll also soften the shadow areas you mentioned. Michele has been a wonderful guide through this one.
I have learned so much about color on this one, I hold you (Chris beautiful skin tones Saper) responsible for my obsession with complements and mixing in general. Sometimes I spend more time experimenting than actually painting. Mixing paint has a meditative quality to it. Thank you.
Jean
