ok after a coat of paint, its too dark i think as its just about dry...

here it is needs sealing...

maybe some burnishing with a brown paper bag might loose some of the darker color skin tone started as a raw senna mix with water which was too yellow, added burnt umber and the color came about right wet but darkened as it dried...

got it in front of a electric heater drying will see soon if its a repaint or not...
