could i varnish this surface? oil paints usally get opaque when used on papper, because the paper absorvs the oil from it. does it happen with this paper? thank you.
I love love love your painting and paper, ... but thumbs down for not stretching your oil paper better to prevent warping. Masking tape (perhaps acid free) may be used to help prevent Arches paper warping ... stretched symmetrically (not just clamped) to permit 'more' fluid media, esp. Utmost blessings and thanks!
I bought a couple of sheets to give it and try and have come to the conclusion is is not usable. Sorry Arches, but the paper is so absorbent that is is terrible to work with in oils.
2019 here, how have I not stumbled across this sooner is beyond me, thanks
Great demonstration! This guy sounds and paints like a really good teacher!
Now I want some Arches paper!
Wow! Just one more tool I can use. Thank you for uploading, I will look for this paper at my art supply store this week.
Thank you, i will be using this paper on my next painting!
Also, you save a ton of space if your studio is a small bedroom.

Unlike watercolour paper, this paper doesn't warp.
Zvonimir Tosic I think he even said that it didn’t need to be stretched in the video
