Just a quick progress note, Deladier. I'd go ahead and work some of the background even at this stage. Some of what's going on in the fleshtones is going to be influenced by the values and hues in the background immediately adjacent to the head. You're also going to want to avoid a paint ridge at the perimeter of the head, which you can do now by committing a little less firmly to a contour edge. You'll be wanting to come into that later anyway, finding and losing that edge, which is a lot harder if there's a leftover levee of paint from an earlier statement.
