Aunt Barb Finished

Finished, colored to the best of my ability with the resources available. Tried to add subtle color shifts in the skin tone, like slight blue reflections on the cheek and neck area that would come from the jacket; a touch of gold from the necklace. I see other artists (that know what they're doing) select a background color first and that or those colors influence the hues of the skin tone. I'm still trying to wrap my head around painting like that, looking for tutorials that show and explain how and why.
