advice please, by Maxie on Sept 30, 2008 14:23:17 GMT 1, this may sound simple to you guys but im a dim wit at times.
I have a 5 layer stencil ready to spray (almost)
Spray on canvas,
The colour scheme is
Black Light Grey Dark Grey Darker Grey White
Parts of the white will be straight onto unpainted canvas is it worth spraying these parts or leave the natural white of the canvas? Other parts of White spray will be highlighting areas of the image so i think will be needed.
How does acrylic and spray work as a mixed media on canvas any opinions?
Cheers

advice please, by Dellboyy on Sept 30, 2008 14:35:19 GMT 1, Also, the white of a primed canvas most likely won't match the white of your paint, so may stand out quite a bit!

advice please, by Chris Keegan on Sept 30, 2008 17:34:13 GMT 1, Its always important to prime your canvas before hand. You get a neat clean surface to work on and its easy to clean after if needed. It should also protect the canvas helping it last longer.
