Jean,

From what I learned about cracking, the best way is to have leaner paints (less oil or medium or no medium at all) on the first stages/ layers of the painting. The later layers or glazes I use more medium.

What happens is that the more fatty paint will sink in into the leaner layers underneath and making a more solid binding.
