I stopped here: the stuff is too golden...Must be underpainted with other color (R.Umber+Tit.W) to make it so gold? Or must be underpainted if I lates covered with opaque colors like Y.Ochre etc.?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. On my monitor it appears that you have used burnt umber + white instead of raw umber + white.
The latter mixture will appear cooler and not so "reddish" as in your post. I prefer to work with a cooler underlayer. As to the color gold, I do not see it in your example - am I missing something?
I try to keep yellow out of the underpainting and reserve those warm colors in the upper layers in order to represent light.
The underpainting is meant to be the halftone layer and halftones are "cool" (a relative term).
On top of your "cool" underpainting layer, you will thickly build warm light and add thin warm shadows. Highlights - which you add last will be "cool" (another relative term when compared to the layer directly underneath).
