Thanks, Marina! Sorry I didn't see your post when I was typing away here. I'm glad you like the colors. That was an interesting exercise because the value on the light side of my face was all very, very similar. It was the kind of thing that would look completely one color in a photo. So I really concentrated on reading all the color changes correctly. A very informative exercise as well as a lot of fun. I was "in the zone," as Linda Brandon says.
