Is this canvas used for acrylic or oil paints (or both)?

Canvas can be used for both Acrylic and oils. Normally acrylic prepared canvas works for both oils and acrylic. I use this product for my high end paintings and it works beautifully.

The oil paints are oil based and need a thinner such as turpenoid (ordorless) or linseed oil to thin (and clean) Acrylic paints are waterbased and thin and clean up with water. The whole Bob Ross painting method is based on painting wet paint into wet paint-in other words, the wet paint does most of the blending work. Acrylic paint dries quickly and even with a retarder or additional medium to slow drying time, must be worked quickly to get the same effects. It is much harder for a beginner to use. If you want to get the same results as the Bob Ross show or the DVD, stick with the oil paints. Always use some form of ventilation when working with any oil based paints.

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.

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

The Canvas is 7oz. Which is equivalent to about a #14 duck. As far as artist canvas goes, its on the thin side. Probably best for small works, as it may be too thin to reliably stretching it large scale.

Would work with oil paints, size is 7 x 8.5 , and it does come with sheets. you can cut you own wax paper also or foil . I like it keeps my acrylic paint wet for a long time.

Not canvas, probably some nylon poly blend. I would think the product description should tell you.

Shireen, I primarily use mine with acrylics. The unit is light and very quiet. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

yes, but I wouldn't recomend. I would use a control spray, which is to be used only with oil base paints.

Yes! Both of the first two projects that I used this on were painted with acrylics. In case anyone is curious, I used Golden Acrylics - They're awesome! Other things I've coated with this are block printer's ink, Danish oil, charred wood, and just plain wood. The ink was water based, thick, and reluctant to dry, but the Varathane coated it well. If you scorch wood, clean off the loose bits and dust before coating with anything. Danish oil worked well enough, but I had mixed it with acrylic paint to see how it would work as a wood coloring so that may have made it easier to clear coat with this. Of course, plain wood worked wonderful! If you want a nice, sturdy, antique matte finish; apply the coat with a paper towel and rub it on like you would Danish oil. Looks awesome!

Well, acrylic paint is like a rubber type of paint. Now there are many shower curtains that you don't want to get wet and they are in use. I suppose you could paint on it, but you would not want to have a pattern down were it usually gets wet a lot. You certainly can use it on a curtain that you place outside and it is for decoration and then have the thin clear inside panel. Seems like a lot of work in doing your art for this use which might not last. Also, inside of each tube there is not a lot of paint. This set is good for doing small pictures, but won't go very far. I don't think this is the set for you. The acrylic paint that is very rubbery is a bit expensive for what you probably need. Hope this lets you think a little, but I am guessing more if I was to want to do what you asked.

Yes. A few exaples are, ebay, tcpglobal.com, utrechtart.com and there are many more. To save money I buy acrylic (water based) paint at an arts and crafts like Joann's or Michael's. The liquid kind not paste. BUT IT MUST BE THINED WITH WATER FIRST. Too little water and it splats or won't spray. Too much and it runs and has coverage issues. Get that down and the choices are endless. So many acrylic colors available localy. Gloss, pearls, glow in the dark, etc. The cost is cheaper too, $1-3 for a 2oz bottle generally. Have fun.

I have used acrylics, very watered down acrylics, and alcohol inks on these canvases and all have worked very well. For the price, they are excellent for practicing. Although I have not used watercolors myself, I would say they would be suitable.

Acrylic paint tends to peel or easily chip off plastic. But if you can locate a primer that is for plastics to use first, it might work. They sell these paints individually at Michael's if you wanted to test it out before ordering this lot.

No, Oilcloth is vinyl on a cotton mesh base. It is used for table cloths or other waterproof items. You can see what I used it for athttp://www.pinterest.com/pin/489485053220002869/ Hope this helps

Yes, you are correct. I am still using this for painting 30 x 40 canvas by leaning the canvas on the top shelf and using the pencil drawer to hold the canvas on the bottom. This fits my space well so is working for me, but I am not painting on paper.

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