No, paint itself does not have the ability to bend cardboard. However, when cardboard becomes wet from paint, it can lose some of its structural integrity and may warp or bend as it dries. The weight of the paint can also cause the cardboard to sag if applied in heavy layers. To avoid these issues, it's best to use light coats and allow adequate drying time.

Do i need to prime cardboard before i paint it?

Yes, it's generally a good idea to prime cardboard before painting. Priming helps seal the porous surface, preventing the paint from soaking in and ensuring a more even application. It also enhances the paint's adhesion, resulting in a smoother finish and improved durability. Use a suitable primer, such as acrylic or spray primer, designed for paper or cardboard surfaces.

Can you paint hard cardboard with varnish?

Yes, as long as you gesso it first. Gesso is a white acrylic paint you can get at any craft or art store. Without Gesso, the cardboard will absorb much more of the oil paint and will peel and crack faster. Gessoing will save you money on oil paint and touch-ups! To gesso, take a large brush and a dish of water. Paint the cardboard with a thin layer of the gesso, thinning it out with the water. Make sure all your strokes go in one direction. After you've done one thin coat, let it dry. Then do another one, only with the strokes in the other direction. After that layer has dried, do a last coat in the original stroke direction. Remember to let the gesso dry completely before starting to paint with oil paints!
