Great observations, Karin.
The light source is confusing from photo source. I think it is high over left side of canvas casting shadow under hair. I will restate that more clearly on canvas.
I plan to make a landscape backgound... soft and suggestive. The violet is merely a wash.
FYI, I tried a new starting technique with this painting inspired by time contraints. After sketching on the canvas lightly with carbon, I reduced the number of lines to an almost coloring-book outline and went over them in permanent magic marker. This allowed me to tone the canvas without losing a thing, and forced me to apply thick paint right away. It's really fun! Is this totally unconventional? Did rennaissance masters have there student slaves do something like this before painting, especially large works?
