I just started a double portrait of a good friend's parents using an old wallet photo from the forties that I scanned and enlarged to 8x10 so I could see it better.
For the toning, I began by brushing a thin coat of English Red Light on the gessoed canvas and then wiping it off with a rag. Then I sketched in the forms using, Raw umber, Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna. then I added Cadmium Red Light, Naples Yellow, Naples Yellow Light, Naples yellow Warm, Dioxazine Purple and Titanium white to my palette and kept at it for a couple hours. What you see is where I stopped painting last night.
