Leslie,

Thank you for your reply, I think you have a very good idea. I will try and lighten the photo in the photo program I have, I have one that came with this computer. I may need to buy Photoshop since I hear a lot about that program on this forum.

I am not angry at all that you manipulated the photo, I am the opposite, I'm glad you did so you could show me your idea.

If I hold the photo up to a light, I can actually see a lot more tones. For example, I can see the reflected light on her cheeck and that is in my underpainting, though I don't know if you can see those subtleties in the post.

Thank you again,

Joan

P.S. Wo in Deutschland wohnen Sie?
