first step in oil painting

One step backward......this is the starting picture I forgot to post the other day. I basically started by toning the canvas with burnt umber then began pulling out the lights with a rag. Paper towel work best for the highlights because they lift out more paint. For lifting out the fine details I use all kinds of erasers . I do my blending with round and flat badger brushes.
