    The best best best way to paint oil on canvas paper is to layer a coat of acrylic matte medium over the gesso. Wait about 2 days for the medium to set fully (same as waiting for gesso to set fully on any surface). After that you should have a much better experience. Of coarse, this is a very budgeted was of doing it!! Thanks for your info tho! I love to see what traditional artists are up to out there 🖤💚🖤🖖🤘👽

    Arches makes Oil Paper, which is like its 140 lb watercolor paper but with a gessoed surface. 100% cotton. It's great for acrylic and collage too. When I was a beginner, I tried the canvas paper too but didn't like the floppy factor..

    hey .. I notice that your canvas paper has quite a strong regular grain, mimicking cotton duck ? Im using a canvas paper that has a quieter less regular linen-like texture thats pretty pleasant. A very thin prep with a cheap acrylic might give you a nice non-absorbent surface, if you prefer less absorbency. so ymmv, but I did really enjoy your opinionated honest heartfelt review : ]
