Thanks for the overpaint. You are totally right about the colour and value part. I have not have time to study those subject, so I just do what feels right to me and what looks comparable to the image :P.
The painting was actually a study from this portrait, although the colours here a bit lighter than the image I used from a book. So I ended up making the background a bit lighter instead of darker. But the lesson different values stays. And in the overall painting I could have thrown in a bit more yellow.

Other than that I spend my weekend making this mixing chart. It sure is a good exercise, you learn a lot about colour, but it is a lot of work x_x.
