I think it was a print disguised to look like an oil painting. But I did find a thread on wetcanvas.com that gives some steps on how to do just that. http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=791491<br />I hope that helps! I would think a bit of sanding and a whole lot of primer would set you good to go too. But read the thread... they're the experts on oil paintings. :) Good luck!While They Snoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020409984066455310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-34704297518947618272015-07-20T06:29:10.491-04:002015-07-20T06:29:10.491-04:00I have some really large oil paintings like this a...I have some really large oil paintings like this and they are in the garage, next step trashman....because I thought you cannot paint acrylic over oil????????? please advise ;-)<br />Linda Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789043647537711080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-11822844446718452172015-06-28T18:18:42.657-04:002015-06-28T18:18:42.657-04:00I just did this project yesterday!

I've never painted on glass before like this. Can you cut the old picture from the frame somehow?

And yes, this was a big canvas with an "oil" painting on top that we bought in a parking lot. I'm pretty sure it was more like a print of an oil painting on canvas... perfect to paint over.

That said, the original colors in the painting were similar to the final new painting I made. If the painting you start with is way different than what you're going for in the new one, I would suggest painting the sides of the canvas too. Hope that helps. :)While They Snoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020409984066455310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-47402226200751829392014-03-26T15:37:30.678-04:002014-03-26T15:37:30.678-04:00What color are the sides of the canvas?
