Anne's image taken at a cafe yesterday. As I was working on it, I found a reproduction in my art book for a skin tone guide. I used my Gray Scale Value Finder on the art reproduction and and noted the tones. I tried to put the same tones - in the same areas -as close as possible - on Anne's image

With the flash quite close - Ann'es original was a bit brighter and paler. Working with the painting skin tones, helped bring in texture on the skin better. (The paler on the right is the original)

For artists in the group - the painting portrait is - "Portrait of Lucrezia Panciatichi" - 1540 - by Agnolo Bronzino in the Uffizi in Florence
