Acrylic paper
Acrylic paper must be thick enough to withstand water, layering and impasto. A fine grain suits detail and even washes, while a more pronounced grain adds relief.
How to choose your acrylic and oil paper
When choosing acrylic or oil paper, consider technique, weight, texture and how the support is prepared.
Oil paper
Oil paper must be specially sized or prepared so oil does not soak into the fibres. Its texture, often close to canvas, suits successive layers and working the medium.
