Safe way
Hi Marvin,
You mention on several posts ago about paintings cracking. I think you were stating the safe or proper way to layer oil paints so down the road in the future, there are less chances of cracking.
From what I learned from Mr. Angel is that the first layers of oil paint are more lean (less oil or medium) that the last or finishing layers. Sometimes even just adding a bit of turps into the paint. The fatty paint tends to "sink in" into the leaner paint underneath.
So, usually the underpainting and 1st painting are more lean paints.
