Here are some progression photos of the tissue technique that is a great way to reuse an old canvas (described in my two books available www.triciareust.com.au)

Cover the canvas with tissue paper and Atelier Binder Medium, then paint red. Draw up the composition with black paint.

This image shows the first cover of paint dry brushed over the texture, enabling the red to show through. I have created this painting with Atelier A2 paint, a great paint for students which is artist quality. The technique of dry brushing is also explained in my books.

The completed still life which has had further bright colour dry brushed, and lines applied with a liner brush and the acrylic paint mixed with Atelier Thin Medium.
