Terri,


Looks good!

I cant always get the darks I want either when its wet. When that happens I save some of the skin color if I have it mixed and wait til the painting drys to the touch. I put some linseed oil on the painting and wipe off most of it (for blending purposes) - then begin again - starting with the darks. If you blend well enough (even using a finger to really push it in so as to not leave an edge) it looks great. I used to do this without the linseed and it was much harder to get it blended smoothly. That's one thing I learned from the T Tyler workshop.
