Matthew,
I think you've got all you need right here.
Last year I did a painting of myself (I was ten) from an old black and white photo. I did it on canvas using only black and white oil paint. I really liked the experience and the result. First of all, the lack of color did not cause any lack of visual impact. And boy, was it easier than color.
If anyone is trying to get their feet wet with oil paint I think this is a great way to begin.
