Verdaccio (Michael?)

Michael, I read a post written by Renee where she used your Verdaccio underpainting technique. I am curious to try this. Does the mix only consist of chromium oxide green, mars black and (choice of artsist) white? How thickly do you apply it and do you fix it before applying color? I have seen demonstrations where the entire canvas was primed with a version of this mix but then painted alla prima. Also, I have always use Titanium white but am not adverse to trying a leaded paint if I am instructed on handling. How does one paint safely with these?
Thanks for any information.
