I think I've tried every method that I can think of or read about on other sites but I finally came up with a cure which is not 100% but a good 95 plus. I went to Lowe's and purchased a steel brush that attaches to a 1/2 electric drill. The name of the product is Gator Grit, Paint and Rust Remover, cost around then bucks. Just attach the wire wheel to your drill and it will scuff the paint right off. It does leave a little discolored look but a far better look that paint all over your brick home if that's what the problem is. I haven't tried it yet but if all the brick were pressure washed using a good cleaner I think it will help the color blend and look even better. Hope that helped. I just purchased a brick home and I think a blind person must have applied the paint and it looked terrible but now it does look a heck of a lot better.

There are different methods - the oldfashioned one, is to first stretch the canvas, glue it in with rabbitskin-glue, then put a gesso over it.

Adding caseine to the gesso can help.
