The invention provides a method of treating a cloth to prevent lateral bleeding into the cloth of a later applied oil-based paint and the resulting treated cloth. That portion of the surface of the cloth which is to be painted with an oil-based paint is first sprayed with small droplets of a composition of matter which consists essentially of a hydrocarbon solvent having a boiling point range from above about 25 DEG C. to below about 100 DEG C. and a triglyceride ester having 30 to 70 carbons atoms. The amount of the composition of matter is such as to provide from about a 1 gram per square meter coating of the triglyceride ester to about a 3.5 grams per square meter coating of the triglyceride ester on the surface portion. The sprayed surface portion is then dried to vaporize the solvent prior to application of the oil-based paint thereto. Operation in accordance with the present invention allows oil-based paints to be used to produce works of art on materials upon which such works of art could not previously be adequately prepared.
