This from Arches was an exceptional unexpected find...What a wonderful experience working once again with oil paints on this fine surface. Looking back some on my better oil paintings that are in private collections those oils I painted were on prepared masonite board. Smooth to work and wonderful results. The Arches art paper does remind me in many ways of that masonite surface of past efforts. I did tire working on prepared canvas boards and their many textures coming through. And, when I Googled this Arches oil paper I must say I once again fell in love with the positive "ratings.">>I mounted these paintings with painters tape onto a stiff board to then set on my easel. Once the painting was dry I removed the tape and had a nice white boarder. Herein note: I haven't yet mounted these paintings on a solid surface- they've stayed as is an oil professional art paper.>>About the attached paintings:>>The Harbor Scene was painted with traditional hogs hair brushes using a full sheet (12 x 16) with boarder. The paint was brushed on in a smooth feel for the subject. Later once all was dry, I scratched-in with a pen knife on the bottom white grasses adding to the brown grass.>> The small oil painting of a Forgotten Punt was rendered in a "thin wash" and painted with some of my older watercolor brushes. Once I sketched in my subject, I gave the surface a light wash of paint thinner wetting the entire surface before working with my oils (perhaps a watercolor habit of wet-to-wet) The painting is on a 1/2 sheet (8 x 12) along with a boarder. I'm excited with this wash- mainly due in the fact that I've worked in watercolors for many years. It felt a bit different- but still I felt as though I controlled this "free flowing wash " style in oils.>> I really like the surface as experienced in both paintings...no gesso prep work whatsoever. And as I look back on a new start in oils I can then mount each on a solid board for hanging...or just store these flat in a drawer for future referencing...Think I can even roll these up for another way of storage.>> Arches is a name that is trusted...an unexpected wonderful find for oil painting:)

Excelente

My daughter is happy with this. Good quality and needed for art GCSE.

コノテノ紙はヘタラナイのが一番

Great quality, I didn't know before I got it but this paper doesn't need to be primed so I don't have to wait forever to start painting 10 out of 10
