Jeff,
I've heard of Schmid's book (and emphasis on color charts) but not read it. My own color chart book follow the same structure.
In practice I've found that there is a bigger range of colors that can be mixed using some pigments (e.g. thalo blue and cadmium orange) than the above system can accommodate - whereas the value ranges are easier for me to interpolate or extrapolate visually. On the other hand, my own system is messy........
Now....back to the painting. I've made most of the suggested changes. I left the bricks and mortar alone - too much potential for screwing it up. I still have a little more work to do on the face of the girl on the right, but I'm much happier with the overall look.
Thanks once again.
Simon
