It has taken a bit of time to get back to this one. I had to learn 2 things first: how to use cool flesh colours better than I had been doing; and second, the confidence to know that I had more than one left eye in me per painting. The first I addressed by doing a Bouguereau copy from a high rez download from ARC. The second thing, I guess I just got tired of trying to fix features that were wrong in the first place. Not to say that I'm "there" yet, but I think that poring over the threads on this site and cyber-stalking great artists, modern and contemporary, has done a world of good. Now, with luck, those of you who coached me through this is the first place will see at least some progress.
Thanks again, Janet
