April,
Your work seems to me to have been executed in the so-called "Reilly Method", taught by the late Frank Reilly. He was an immensly popular teacher at the Art Students' League decades ago. If I'm correct, this underpainting technique is called a wash-in.
According to his approach, you'd next lay in the colors. Don't you utilize a controlled palette too?
Out of my own curiosity, where did you learn this approach?
Thanks,
a.
