Been struggling on this one ! But I learned sooooo much ! It was exactly what I needed at the moment. I'm not really satisfied with the result I ended up with. But maybe I'll try doing it again sometime. Thanks so so much Chris.

Thanks for the advice. Clearly practicising is the only good thing to do. But sometimes it gets so discouraging (got 5 attempts on your Kate Winslet portrait and it's still awful !). That's why the community you've created is so helpful, just to have a fresh look at what we do. So really "Merci Beaucoup" !

So why do you put the dark color down and then paint over it with white? My colors keep mixing.

Thanks Chris, eye, nose and mouth look normal now to a whole face....
