Dan, I am glad that you do not find the advice overwhelming. One of my mistakes, that I do my best to correct, is to rush to the finish, the likeness. When ever I rush I find I must go back to the previous step. I am so glad that oil is so forgiving. The "Master" of old are our teachers and it does take time to understand what it is they wish to teach us.
Painting for me is as is sculpture to Michelangelo. It took me some time to learn that He did not chip the eye out before he established the landmarks where the eye sits. I hope this helps.
