Answer #1

if it is a plain canvas, you will first have to paint it with plenty of gesso. you can get it at any art supply store. otherwise your canvas will just absorb all the paint and it won’t look very good. the rest depends on what type of look you are going for. I would suggest acrylic probably. its not very expensive and is easy to clean up with just water. oil is much harder to work with water color is very pastel-looking.

ok thanks you very much
