So inspiring! I wondered since the end result would be bags, if you washed the canvas before priming and did you use acrylic gesso?
ReplyDeleteDo not pre-wash the canvas, it will make it soft and wimpy. No, we did not prime the canvas with gesso. You can purchase primed canvas from Dick Blick online. I have used primed and also unprimed canvas and they both work equally well. We did heat set the paints when the canvas was dry.

Thanks so much for the help. Good to know about the heat setting using hair dryer? Clothes dryer or paint stripper air gun? Ha ha!

I was thinking about waxing the canvas afterward since mine will be used as a shopping bag. I thought it might keep it cleaner and last longer that way. Aurora
