That makes sense, I'm still just getting started with learning painting and colors so I never even thought about how the original painter would mix their colors. Thank you!

I'm no expert so definitely take this with a grain of salt but on your study it just seems like mostly the colors themselves are what's off. Sargent's colors are much less saturated than what you put down although this could've been done on purpose. I tried to do a paintover/comparison in pic related, I don't know how to do a "proper" paintover so I hope it's useful at all.

The shapes are solid except for around his right shoulder, in the original painting they seem to slope more, but it seems like this was mostly just a study of the face itself. There's also a couple issues with value, especially in the eyes but I feel like that has to do with the colors you picked more than anything.

I hope this is helpful anon.
