This is sort of an abbreviated version of what I was thinking of above, with watercolor instead of oils. I still want to try it with oils soon.

I did a pencil drawing on 11"x 14" paper, adhered it to a hardboard panel, sprayed it with fixative, and applied clear acrylic gesso with a small paint roller. Then I added washes of local color with watercolor. I liked the texture; the surface seemed to provide a nice balance of absorbency and correctability. The coloring is similar to a tinted photograph.
