Collection: Oil

Traditionally, when using oil paint, paper shouldn’t be used. The most common surfaces for this medium are canvas board and wood. However, more recently people have begun using paper for oil paints, which is totally acceptable so long as the paper is primed properly with either an acrylic gesso or oil ground. Watercolour paper can be used for oil paint as well; this is because watercolour paper is heavy in weight, thick and rough in texture. Going for thick watercolour paper such as 300gsm cold-press will work perfectly so long as you prime it properly.
