... No I'm not folding paper but I'm painting on it!
I recently went to a Placerville Arts meeting with a friend of mine and I scored some Carson's Oil & Acrylic Canvas Paper. In the past I really had a problem painting on paper. Wood is still my favorite but I have grown to love paper. It's easily stored, easily mailed, easily framed in pre-made store bought frames or mounted on board and I love how layers and layers of paint seem to glow on it. I am painting with acrylics and didn't gesso the paper first, however, I believe it would be wise if I was painting with oils. This canvas paper is coated & doesn't absorb the paint. I am anxious to get into my little studio today and paint some more today. I have listed these on Etsy but plan to auction some on Ebay as well. Listing fees are free until Jan 7th!

Oh yes, prime for oils first or they will eat the paper away. I love paper, then I miss the wood :oP
Beautiful work as always!
I like..Yes I think paper is so good to work on..Small pieces I have put gesso on and work on it..
I like it but it is a different feel.
These are both beautiful but that first beautiful lady is really mesmerizing. You do the most awesome portraits!
