Um, 2 things to consider.
First - WRT SAL, I'm happy to send colored canvas if appropriate.
2nd - painting canvas has 2 issues. For most people just doing it for
yourself - you could use any acrylic paint - in a thinned version, and be
sure to paint over a white cloth or absorbent towel , It's tough on brushes
- and make sure the holes don't clog.
Most people who paint designs professionally use artist grade acrylics - not
the inexpensive craft paints. Has to do with permanence and depth of
pigment, etc.
Pastels work with white. The issue with colored vs white canvas has more to
do with open canvas left on the piece. You generally want that to
complement the thread palette so it's not glaring out at you. With charted
canvas, frequently there is unstitched areas - so that's why. Also, the
thing with coverage and canvas reflecting through the threads, etc.
Anyhow - we can discuss details of what people need for the SAL on that
group. Donna & I were talking about this, and I could see if we're doing
the flower boxes, maybe painting a little background of color splashes to
look like flowers peeping through the foliage which the design represents.
Many people will touch in with a marker, paint brush to get a look they like
on canvas., I just wouldn't necessarily paint the whole piece - but it
certainly can be done. Sometimes it's just kind of doing an impressionist
background. You just definitely don't want your paint flaking off in the
project.

Define easy access. Call or email Denise at Threadneedle Street and
she'll send you what you want. It's not even that expensive:
