Question: Did you gesso the canvas yourself? And if so, did it bleed through the canvas to the other side?
Preparing a canvas with gesso is something that needs to be done with care. The first layer you put on should only be a fine dusting. Only after a few of these "dustings" when the weave is filled can you begin to put it on a bit thicker.
Gessoing is one of life's more tedious activities, prompting many artists to paint over existing works to save time.
