Thanks for the suggestions on handling acrylics...
Have any of you used the watercolor  canvas successfully?
I did not I have  watercolor  canvas on hand for a workshop but did have ordinary canvas mounted on a wooden frame .  I coasted it with guesso  a number of times and proceeded to use watercolor paints  and collage it in certain areas with rice paper using yes glue to give it texture...It turned out OK but you can still see the canvas if you look close  ...I sprayed it with fixative 
 because it wasn't watercolor canvas and the sides have staples on it which showed  I just put it in a frame   (16x20) sans matt and glass  I am wondering if it will hold up?   What do you think?  Rosemary Zweigbaum
