canvas painting removal?

[patches2593]

so i have started a new hobby of acrylic paints and canvases

but i messed up on one of the canvases and i don't know how to get the paint off.

are there any ways i can remove most of the acrylic paint? any items at home i can use??

thank you

Generally, no. You could sand it off, lightly, and put some primer over the top, so it becomes white again, but there isn't a great deal you can do to remove it, once it dries.

Or you could stand a short distance away, and throw paint at it, then put it on ebay, with some mumbo jumbo about what it represents. You'd be amazed at what people pay for abstract art. Or get some rabbit safe stuff, and let the rabbits walk all over it, nibble the edges maybe, and put it up as a charity auction for a rabbit rescue. People also pay good money for art an animal has done, especially if it's for charity! You might end up needing to wash your rabbits paws though.

Just paint right over! They've xrayed a few really famous paintings and found parts of different pictures underneath that they'd painted over.
