So, I was using Arches Oil paper and I really loved how the paint went onto it. It became my favourite surface to paint on - I also loved the opacity I got from it. The only thing I didn’t quite enjoy was the rough texture. Then I tried the Stonehenge Oil Paper because it was a lot smoother, but man, it was a bad experience. My putty eraser kept getting clogged up with what seemed like a layer of paper ‘dust’ on the surface, and my paint kept doing the same. It was an unpleasant painting experience - do you not get that from this paper?
