I have never used oil on paper. I prefer canvas board and have tried painting on masonite. For the way I paint masonite is to slippery.

I don't paint on stretched canvas because I paint on a flat surface and like to rest my hand which is hard to do on stretched canvas.

I have used Masonite in the past, I prefer canvas but if you take sand paper to the masonite or put a thick layer of gesso it will work in a pinch.

I also rest my hand on the canvas. I'm costantly wipeing my hand to revent cross contamination.

I tried this stick trick. but the stick is tricky.

His models must have hated him.
