I use a toned ground. The brownish/ orange of the background (it doesn't look that orange in real life) is the toned ground. You can see that in all areas. in this stage.
I used a mixture of yellow ochre and raw umbre for this. (Talens brand) I mixed only turpentine with this to dilute the paint.
On that ground I used raw umbre to paint her and a mixture of raw umbre, some yellow ochre and white to heighten the underpainting.
