Hi Brenda,

I did use white in some flesh tones and yellow ochre light also to lighten. The tones I'm not happy with are the shadow tones on the neck area, and am thinking that maybe using the naples yellow to lighten the burnt umber and venetian red might work better. The complexion in the face looks pretty accurate to her complexion in life. The photograph of her looks somewhat yellower than her actual complexion.

I will try out some mixing experiments with using the naples yellow and see how that looks. Thanks for the tip!
