Dear April,
I beleive you must have learned the so-called, "Reilly Method", either directly from one of his students. (or his student's students) A ton of 'em are out there. To my knowledge, he was the most popular teacher of drawing/painting in history!!
He was an immensly popular illustrator, during the golden age of. He apprenticed to the great Dean Cornwall, and in time taught at the Art Students' League. Reportedly, his classes were ALWAYS sold out. In time he left the 'League and his own school was started. I've studied with two of Reilly's erstwhile students, Michael Aviano, (who now teaches privately) and Jack Faragasso, at the A.S.L. Faragasso has had a few drawing/painting books published. Jon DeMartin, at the N.Y. Academy of Art teaches it too.
After the wash-in, (underpainting) one applies paints from a controlled palette over the top. They also have their own means of drawing too.
-Hope That Helps,
Best,
a.

Post Script:
April,
I now recollect another teacher who teaches a Reillyesque method, Frank Covino. He continually teaches around the country. I don't actually even know if he even studied with Reilly though, so I won't vouch as to whether or not he teaches what is today known as, "The Reilly Method". 'Definitely influenced by it though.
To learn more about Reilly see americanartarchives.com/reilly.htm
Best,
a.[B]
