one of you more experienced canvas artist drop me some knowledge on me:
im working on my first canvas, its going to be very simple, and so on. i painted the entire thing black, with acrylic paint and it was very time consuming. im not sure if the brush i had was wack or what, but it took me like an hour.
-my friend said i was suppost to GESSO the canvas first? is that true? is there a certain kind of primer youre suppost to use first before painting?
-what kind of brushes do yall use? brand wise?
-what kind of paints? acrylic or oil? and what brands?
-paint markers, are these recommended? what are they best used for?
-last but not least, when using spray paint on canvas, what are some rules for doing so? like i cant remember exactly, but i rememebr a friend of mine telling me how hard it was for him to paint with spray paint on canvas. like the first layer stays, or its hard to cover up etc...
id really appreciate those questions being answered... thanks in advance.
