Using a LOT of paint in your first layer still conforms to the "fat over lean" rule.

Paint directly from the tube is considered "lean." ("Underpainting white" is really really lean) and this will go on "quietly" only if you use enough paint.

Adding oil (medium) makes paint "fat." Therefore, DON'T ADD ANY OIL to your bottom (thick) layer of paint.
