Thanks, everyone...

Julie--I'm finally getting the importance of neutrals in skin.

Enzie--thanks. I've figured out that, like a lot of things, it's better to paint everything around the teeth and define them by outside contours, rather than painting them as little Chicklets lined up.

Ilaria--it's a little confined horizontally, but it's planned with a painting of his twin, facing the other way, so they can either be hung together or not.

Mischa--I prefer to paint as directly as I can. I paint a first layer in color, and establish values then, and continue to refine in layers in color. I glaze very sparingly to adjust color at the end, if at all. I'm impatient with glazes and don't wait sufficiently for them to set, so I muddle and dirty them up--I don't like to glaze at all if I can help it.
