Minh,
Not necessarily a recipe for disaster, but something to keep in mind. Other factors are involved, and most disasters are due to a combination of errors. One can sometimes get by with small transgressions if the other factors are not working against the life of the picture, too. I would be concerned with the use of turpentine, though. It weakens the binding power of the oil.
By the way, Cynthia has prompted me to mention my upcoming workshop here. It's April 19-21 at my studio in Penngrove, California. I only have room for ten attendees, so everyone will get plenty of attention. Interested parties should contact me soon to reserve a spot.
