Painting over old paintings
This may be a very silly question, and I searched the forum for this topic and couldn't find it, surprisingly.
In regards to painting over an old painting on canvas: What is the proper way to proceed? Can I just gesso over the old paint or do I have to use a certain kind of sealer first?
My paintings so far don't have much texture so I wouldn't have to worry about ridges, etc. Just want to know what's acceptable.
Keep in mind, I'm not talking about for a commission, just for work for myself.
