Hi Lon,

I wasn't sure if you were directing your question to me (that's never stopped me from jumping in before, so why stop now). By shadow, I mean everything not struck by light (your primary light source). My monitor just doesn't show any warm color in the cheek on (our) left, so I don't have benefit of seeing what you see. Since I have never used glaze I couldn't begin to advise you on it...if I were to paint integrating warm tones into the sweater, I would typically work wet-into-wet, and use some of the sweater color as a base and just mix into it what ever reds/oranges/yellow I had used for the flowers, then in this case, probably 'hit' the upward planes of the sweater with strokes of the warmed color. (Upward since these are the planes that would pick up reflected color. I would also warm the downward facing planes of the roses with some of the sweater color.) Of course the values need to be in control to retain the integrity of the shadow.

Chris

P.S. Thanks, Mari!
