Texturing Over Old Paintings

So with my texture mix you can reuse old paintings that no longer work for you. You can use gesso to do this too, particularly with acrylic paintings. But if you have oil paintings that have dried out completely (I’m talking years) then it is pretty safe to put a good layer of texture over the top before repainting.

I hate wasting canvases but if something doesn’t sell or I am just not happy with it then it has to go!

I have been working as a professional artist since 2006 and have sold over 600 paintings in that time. I create both textured abstract paintings and fluid acrylic paintings depending on the phase I am going through with my art! I am keen to share my techniques with others as I know there are so many artists out these looking for information like I was in the early days.
