The photograph deadens natural skin colors.
Our skin is full of colors from bright reds to blues and green and unfortunately a lot of the photographs that I work from I did not take myself and the colors are mostly browns and yellow. So to combat this I imagine brighter colors or more saturated colors and improvise. I want to push the colors even further in this stage but for some reason I have trouble using super high chroma colors on the painting even though I know that I can tone them down later.
