Today's Frequently Asked Question:

Question: Can I reuse a canvas?

Answer: A canvas can be reused. The rule is about 3 times. Once you loose the tooth of your canvas it is not reusable. If your painted surface is rough, you will need to lightly sandpaper your canvas to remove the rough edges. Wipe off any residue before you apply a thick layer of gesso. You may need to apply more than one coat of gesso before it will completely cover the painted surface. Allow the gesso to dry completely before beginning a new painting. You can use this technique on acrylics and oils.
