Since canvas boards are gessoed, can an acrylic color be added 2 this &amp; when dry still paint with oil paint? A beginner's question :) Thanks

You can always use oil over gesso or acrylic. Just not acrylic or gesso over oil. I hope that helps. :)

Acrylic artist paint works well for painting wood. I base coated with Tamiya deck tan then after dry used a brush to paint the wood various shades to look more realistic. Here is the link to my build. http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/misc/sail/Viking-50-am/index.htm

I asked the person who paints in our family. He said that as far as he knows, you can use the oil paints on the canvas. maybe go online and research the issue with Darice manufacturer.

I'm not sure. The paint I used was washable paint. I would assume acrylic paint would work fine. Just wash it by hand if you have to wash it.

I think so! Maybe you want to prime the canvas first with something better for oils.

Actually, yes it can. In fact I first printed on canvas and then used oil paint to highlight different areas. After seeing the results, I went ahead and fully painted on the canvas with a different project. Honestly I can barely see the difference between this and real canvas.

I waited a week before painting over Copper Green with oil-based paint and the paint adhered and dried fine (fir gutter.) So I think a solid body stain would be similar, assuming it's oil-based. I don't think I'd even try to apply latex over Copper Green unless it had dried for a long, long time.

I have done many of these paintings, but not with paint! I used colored pencils in order to give mine a richer feel. I worked with a box of 50 Crayola colored pencils and matched up shades and combinations of shades with the colors on the box. It worked REALLY well, and I have many gorgeous pieces hanging around my house! Just an alternative if you're interested!

I used it over Createx water based airbrush colors. I think it should work on top of acrylic paint. Make sure that coat is completely dry though.

yes, I paint in acrylics and it works very well. I also found putting glass in the bottom helps.

This paint is truly awesome! I have been using this for years. I use it on leather of course but it looks awesome and adds weight and volume on canvas. I would only caution you on man made synthetic leathers... needs more drying time and can stay tacky. Other than that... Enjoy!!!!!

This is a very light varnish, used primarily to protect acrylic paintings. I found it very satisfactory for this use. I don't see why it wouldn't work under the acrylic airbrushing (or over it for that matter).

haven't used w/acrylics. I like the way they move on canvas and I do seal them before and after each step to prevent running.

The surface is prepared for acrylic or oil. I did not order watercolor canvas.

My painting wasn't as vibrant with the orange color as it is online. Mine doesn't have the orange covering as much as I thought it would. It's partially orange and partial lime. The main color is dark red/burgundy. It's still very beautiful.

Acrylics are NOT the type of paint to use. Go to Walmart and buy craft paint that can be used on material. It can be washed and retains it's vibrancy....acrylics are blotchy, if adhering at all. Do not recommend.

Yes you can . Wall paint is acrylic based just like these craft paint are .
