Lexie, 2nd attempt

[Janel Maples]

This is a photo of my daughter that I would like to do in oil. This will be another attempt at painting her only this time I thought I would try posting the process starting with the photo instead of when I think I am finished, only to learn that I painted through certain steps that I didn't know enough not to paint through. I am trying to learn how to identify obstacles I may bump into before it is too late.

One comment I should make about this resource photo is that it appears darker on my monitor than what I see in front of me. The dark values are not as clumped together as what they appear on the screen.

Thank you in advance for any comments.
