I prefer the white of the canvas as a starting point. I don't paint thin layers, but try to paint a face in one session. The thickness of the paint is mostly the same in the shadows, midtones as in the light areas. I like the white of the canvas because it corresponds with the white of my pallet, so I know the colors I mix will come out exactly the same on the canvas.
