Best Answer

There are several ways to reuse a canvas: (1) You may flip it over and paint on the back. (2) If the original painting is waterbased (acrylic, for example) you can paint directly over it with either acrylic or oil paint. But if the original painting was done using oils, you can only paint directly over it with oils. (3) If you prefer a white ground to start with, you can use a primer called "gesso" and apply it in one or more layers for a fresh start.

Modern gesso is acrylic based I've heard it would eventually peel if used over oil paint.
