Huh didn’t know the fat over lean rule eh?!

I still don't now it lol . What is it?

If you don't follow the rule and paint fat oil paint, and on top of that, you paint thinner paint, the top layer will solidify quicker, and then when the underlaying layer solidifies it will move and budge and you get cracks in the top layer (like in the beautiful painting, it could be other reasons, I'm no expert).

And you can't really get around it as oil paint can take crazy long time to "dry" (it's more some chemical process), Van Gogh used so much paint it's a whole pain to move his paintings because they are still not dry...
