B: Oil: I have used this many times for oil painting, and it’s great. Holds up really well over time. It’s my go-to for oil. Highly recommended.

Acrylic: Warps badly. If you plan to leave a lot of white space, it could work. If you plan to paint a full background in acrylic, it warps and won’t lay flat after drying. I use heavy body acrylic and it did it every time. Not recommended.

Al Bennett: I have been painting on this paper for several years, with Acrylic and Oil paint. The paper is very sturdy and will not bleed thru. It will buckle some if you get it too wet. It's relatively inexpensive. I have also made my own pastel paper out of it.

SherryLee: I use these sheets to create color wheels and other practice worksheets for my beginner oil painting students. The quality and sturdiness of the paper has worked great for these exercises. Awhile back we did a little work with acrylic on the paper and that worked out fine. Also use the paper "as is".....without applying any gesso. We use water miscible oil paint in class so have not tried the paper with regular oils/turp. The best part is the price for 24 sheets plus both sides can be used. I have tried a competitor's paper and like it a little better because the surface is a little smoother but it's about twice as expensive as the Canson.

Chelsea Edgecumbe: This is the best canvas paper I’ve found for oils or water-mixable oils. It has some tooth and texture, but not so much that it interferes with the laying down of the paint. I don’t even coat it with gesso, just paint on it as is.

Amazon Customer: I thought I would give this a try for oil painting. I didn't have high hopes as I'd bought some Arttec oil paper from an art shop and the oil soaked through to the back making the painting look patchy on the front and it curled terribly.

However this Canson paper is fabulous. Really nice to paint on, no oil soak through and no curling. I wish I could get it in a 16 x 12 size. Definitely worth purchasing (although it was a lot cheaper when I initially bought it than it is now when I'm writing the review.)

MaryMoMaryMo: I'm very happy with this paper for Mixed Media.

It's my first time using it... I'm not sure why I haven't tried it before, but I'm glad I tried it during this project. It was just what I needed.

I just finished utilizing it to illustrate a "junk-journal style" children's book, so I used/tested plenty of different mediums this past week.

I have no skin in the game, bought this myself. But I enjoy reading reviews before buying (before wasting my money lol) so maybe this review will help a fellow crafter/maker/artist decide what paper they need.

It held up well to acrylics, gesso, Sharpie markers, Posca paint pens, tempuras, and different types of adhesives. No problems.
This is probably the best paper I've EVER used with Gesso because the medium didn't distort the page in any way. I applied it on THICK! The paper/canvas didn't budge. Continued to lay flat.
From now on, if I need a spackle-thick texture (like the hospital cut-out in the photo) this will be my go-to paper. And to think, I had almost sworn off Gesso and gel mediums. I just didn't have the right paper.

I DID NOT use watercolor on this paper, and wouldn't.
It's not pourous or...
