Try looking at Gamblin oil paints first. You might as well start at the top.

If you want the non-toxic stuff check out Genesis colors.

Back to the panels...I want to paint on an acrylic gessoed surface because I often use an acrylic imprimatura or draw on the bottom layer with an acrylic paint before switching to oils.

I like the acrylic gesso "tooth" that grabs the paint on my first layer and really want to try these panels. ArtFix (whatever that is) is acrylic primed. Because it is synthetic, is it a mechanical looking weave?
