It depends on the type of paint used in the existing painting. If it is an oil painting, you will need to use oil based paint. If it is a water based medium, like acrylic, use a water based paint. Gesso will work well for this. It is inexpensive, opaque and will help level the texture of the existing painting. You may want to lightly sand the painting before painting over.
I cannot argue with that; oil paint can be a tough medium to work with, but with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can do it. Oil paint is a beautiful medium, and the buttery glosses, thin luminescent glazes, and rich colors just cannot be achieved with any other painting medium in my opinion.Here are a few things to know before painting with oils: 1) Know what youâre working with: Before using oil paint, it is important to know what it is.his means that âleanâ paint must be applied in the under layers of the painting, and after each layer, the paint can get âfatterâ and âfatterâ. Lean paint has more turpentine thinner and less oil medium mixed in it, and fatter paint has less turpentine thinner and more oil medium.
