Thomasin,
This head is exquisite! I went into your website and looked at the whole painting and it, too, is wonderful, and I agree you should post in the nudes section with some details like this one so we can take a close look at your technique.
It never ceases to amaze me that you can create such rounded, believable form with so little apparent contrast and subtle color shifts. I'm looking at the mouth and tip of the nose, how they emerge from the surrounding skin. The eyes, too, are not separate things, but part of the face yet made of a different texture and material. The features are differentiated as if by magic. You have to have a very fine understanding of edges to be able to create that magic!
