Using Arches oil paper

Just been trying out the Arches Oil paper. Totally love it!

I meant to use it just for a study so that I could make notes directly on the paper about the colors I used etc, but found such success with what I was doing that I ended up doing a full-on painting.

I’ll be using this a lot more. My only thought is that I wish they made the pad in a tear-off ring bound format so that I could use it more like a book rather than individual sheets.

I really liked Canson XL paper for oil painting. I had no problems with buckling or tearing and my oils worked well with the paper.
