I broke the cardinal rule and painted a layer of very lean paint over a layer of fairly oily paint. Does anyone have any idea when I might see cracking, if it happens? Would it be weeks or years?

This is on a painting of my own daughters which I plan never to sell. I won't do this on a client's painting!

Thanks!
