Vinyl wallpaper is less than the best ground for painting. It is too flexible to guarantee a solid adhesion of the support layer (gesso). which puts the final product (painting) at risk for cracking and peeling.

What is gesso paint?
Gesso is a primer. Artists sometimes apply it to a surface before painting on it. In fact, gesso looks a lot like paint. Originally, gesso only came in white. Artists put it on canvas, wood, or other surfaces before creating a painting with oil paint or acrylics. Gesso makes the surface a little stiffer. It prevents paint from soaking into the support (canvas, paper, wood, etc.), and it gives the surface a little more texture (called "tooth"), so the paint sticks better. Please see related link.

How do you prepare canvass for oil painting?
There are different methods - the oldfashioned one, is to first stretch the canvas, glue it in with rabbitskin-glue, then put a gesso over it. Nowadays acrylic binder and gesso is much used, but this might not be a very durable procedure in the end (in house painting, everyone knows not to put oilbased paint over acrylic paint...). Adding caseine to the gesso can help.
How do you make gesso?
I have limited funds and want to prime a canvas for an oil painting, and have only used gesso in the past. I have a gallon of KILZ. Would this be an acceptable alternative? Google Kilz and ask the manufacturer. They say they have many different Kilz products. You would want to be sure before wasting your skills on a painting that would somehow be spoiled by the wrong primer.
