Is it possible to decoupage a poster to canvas?

Question

I bought a poster from art.com and thought I would save some money and be creative by putting it on canvas. I am open to any ideas using different mediums. I also read somewhere that using clear varnish to create brush strokes was possible. Is anyone familiar with that technique also? Please help!

Answer 1

Yes. Coat the canvas with varnish, and laminate it to it. Then coat it again with varnish. Add a third thicker, and uneven coat with a clogged up brush, for the brushed look. Any art supply store or catalogue should have the right supplies and be able to tell you the techniques for you to get the desired effect.
