 >>> What about gesso? It is what painters use to prime their  
canvases. Also if you use oil based paint rather than acrylic it may  
be more flexible. While painting keep paint diluted. I know Leonardo  
kept the Mona Lisa on him rolled up as he traveled!
-------------------
Everyone prolly already knows this, but if you always roll the canvas  
"paint out" you have fewer cracks. I'm sure Leonardo did it that way.

I would think that acrylic gessos, paints, and mediums would be more  
flexible rather than less.
