A few months ago at a yard sale, I picked up a large frame with a faded piece of art. The frame was gorgeous, but the artwork was beyond repair. I bought it for four dollars with the intention of painting over the canvas. Since I'm still waffling over what to paint, I decided to write out my favorite quote (from poet Louise Bogan) and hang it in my office for a little daily inspiration. I'm sure I'll paint over it soon, but until then, this is a lovely incarnation.
Oh... I forgot to add...
The canvas is exposed and there is no glass over the top of the art. I painted with an acrylic paint directly onto the existing artwork. I let it dry and hung it up. I didn't seal it or treat the canvas in any way before painting.
So, do tell how you did this...painting it by hand on canvas? Paper? Glass?
