This is my first experiment painting in oil on Wallis sanded Pastel Paper. I have used the Wallis for many years for pastel work, and decided to try it out for oil, since my large oil-primed linen roll came to an abrupt end, without possiblity of replacement.
I learned very quickly that sable brushes get eaten up by the paper, but synthetic brushes do fine.
What I love about the surface is that you can lay down a rough, painterly stroke or get as smooth as you'd like, since there is no weave to contend with.
