Don’t Make This Mistake When Painting Over an Old Canvas

Don't make this mistake, when you reuse an old canvas! It almost ruined my art. I painted over a FREE canvas from the Reuse Center and calculated how much priming it cost compared to buying a new canvas. Usually they sell old art and even unused art supplies, but I found this used canvas in the "free section" of the store. I'll go through the process of how to prime a used canvas for a new painting and I'll do my own acrylic painting over it.
