sharpies, acrylic, colored pencils & an old canvas

i bought an old canvas from goodwill a few months back. it was already painted. a still life. a chair, window, table. $1.00.
i painted over it with latex ceiling paint. the stuff that starts off lavender and then turns white. we had some extra cans in the basement and i didn’t feel like spending money on gesso or other stuff. i don’t know what i’m doing anyway so it seems appropriate to use what i have around the house to experiment with before i go and get “official” materials.
