I need the help on choosing the right canvas and technique for the
following mix media project.

I'm doing print on canvas, and after that I need to paint with
acrylic.
I was trying that couple time but acrylic paint peeling off the
canvas.

Please help.
Thanks.

When you say "print on canvas" what do you mean? Is the paint peeling
off the print media or is the acrylic paint bonding to the print media
and then peeling both off the canvas

Are you printing with oil based inks or oily paints?
If the answer is "yes" then you have the answer to
your problem. You should never apply water-based
paints over oily surfaces. The other way around is
okay - oil over acrylic - most of the time. But
compatibility is best achieved using the same formula
for all layers.

I like to paint ,using my technique (availble at my site for free),
real quick and thin and then paint again using thicker paint. It is so
awesome and extremly quick. You can also do this over a print. I think
I'll try that.

I'm using Epson 9600 wide printer with UltraChrome Ink.

And I need to apply the acrylic on the top of canvas. But I think the
printing canvas is not strong enought to hold the acrylic.
May be I have to use any special coating/varnish between the canvas
and acrylic?
Thanks.
