It depends on the type of paint used in the existing painting. If it is an oil painting, you will need to use oil based paint. If it is a water based medium, like acrylic, use a water based paint. Gesso will work well for this. It is inexpensive, opaque and will help level the texture of the existing painting. You may want to lightly sand the painting before painting over.
Acrylic: A synthetic polymer used in high-performance latex or water-based paints. As the paint's binder, acrylic resins enable the coating to last longer and retain its color. Acrylic Latex Paint: Water-thinned paint which employs acrylic resin as the majority of the binder. Other binders which may be added to reduce cost or add specific properties include styrene, epoxy, and poly-vinyl acetate. 100% Acrylic Latex Paint: Water-thinned paint in which only acrylic resin is used as the binder medium.
