Baroque painting technique

A question for art history buffs:
Does anyone know the technique used by baroque artists such as Caravaggio and Guido Reni?
i.e. what color ground did they use?
did they glaze or work wet into wet?
how did they achieve such luminous flesh tones? by letting the ground show through or by
using opaque layers?
any information will be appreciated as I can't seem to find much info on the subject.
