If it was me I would use gesso over the old paint than you can pretty much use any paint you want.
Start with a white primer/paint and let it dry. Then paint over it with your pattern or picture.
Then hope you don't regret it, that picture you painted over may someday be valuable!
wipe down and gesso it, that should give it the surface it needs to be painted over
Definatel gesso. Will prevent colors from previous work from showing through.
They make a product called gesso, just paint it on it will make the canvas a clean slate.
If it is just a print, as others have said, a primer would work. I would use a high-ashesion one line Bin , Zinsser, BM or Kilz
Absolutely! Ive done this multiple times.
These are examples of thrift store over-paintings and my favorite primer that I use.
