Can acrylic paint over oil paint???

can i paint over an old oil painting with acrylic paint? thanks/.Can acrylic paint over oil paint???
No, you can't as it will not adhere well. On the other hand you can work with oil paint over acrylic with complete safety. In fact, most commercial canvas for oil painting are primed in acrylic.





Work over oil paint with more oil paint. The technique is simple.Can acrylic paint over oil paint???
yea as long as its dry
As long as the oil paint is dry, which takes up to a year no problem.





I often mix the two, but mostly use Acrylic as an undercoat.





Don麓t literally mix the two othewise you get a lumpy mess.
No. It will make a horrible mess.
no, because acrylic is water based, so the oil in the oil paint will come through, because the oil floats on water
no because its oil based and acrylic is water bassed it will just crack.
Dearest artist,yes you can but after one of them be dry.
I did'nt think so. But after ready some of the answers i guess you can Good luck Enjoy
If it is dry, yes. Just cover the surface with a few coats of primer first. I often use acrylic and oils on the same canvas, and while there is a chance that the oils will eventually cause some problems with the acrylic on top, I have never had this happen. Paintings that I made over ten years ago with acrylic over oil still look just fine and there has been no damage...


Good luck!
