I recently came across a great book on painting children, in different mediums, on paper. The author mostly uses gouache, pastels and watercolors, but there is a section on painting in oils on paper and one on acrylics. The author used 3-ply Bristol for the demonstration. I was curious to know if anyone on the Forum has ever done this. I use paper for my prisma pencil and pastel work as well as for my gouache work, but I have never tried using oils on any thing but canvas.

Of course, I know that there will be the "traditionalists" who say that oil on linen is the only way to go, but I would still like to hear those and other opinions before I try this myself (on a non-commission of course).

Thanks,
Rebecca
