Marvin, thanks for the link to the finished portrait. Yes, it's beautiful and I definitely see your point about tonal ranges. But it's beyond me how you can capture true color with only studies in life to aid you. There is so much detail in your work that I would think that the life paintings would have to be almost as realistic and complete as the final portrait to assist you in knowing what color to use where the hand reflects a warmer light onto the jaw and so forth. It's amazing.
