Artist's gel medium makes a great adhesive for canvas work. Plus, you can choose how heavily textured your piece is by the type of gel medium used. Some of it has enough body you can make stucco effects. Gel medium can also be tinted with regular acrylic paints or colorized with inks or paints after it dries. You can also stipple it, run a comb through it, impress it with fabric (Burlap, linen) for additional texture or just use a palette knife for the effect you want.
Almost forgot--it's strong enough to hold any embellishments you want to incorporate into the work.
