Prep the canvas with Gesso (chalk) primer. Some canvas say they're prepped but my experience is that this isn't always of good quality. Put a couple of layers on it and you'll be fine. Without it, there is always the possibility the canvas absorbs paint more than you want it to. This results in dull looking paintings.
