Portrait Progress

I plan to lay in the background and clothing before the flesh tones.  My thinking is that the paint around the flesh tones will affect the subtle

 value shifts in skin.  Here I have painted the shadow of the Hat mixing a "black" from my primaries.

Here I mixed the light side of the hat by adding some white to my shadow side mixture mixing in some pure color on the canvas to add interest. 

Here I started to suggest the embroidery on the hat.  I have narrowed my palette to Hansa Yellow, Cad red light, Quin Rose, Phthalo Blue, with Lead white.
