Arches Oil Paper is specially formulated for use with oil paints and media. It requires absolutely no preparation unless you want to cut it to size.
 
This is beautiful and tough 140 lb (300 gsm) high-tech paper was specifically designed for oil painting, yet it maintains the look and feels of traditional Arches papers. It features a solid oil barrier that absorbs water, solvents, and binders evenly while allowing the paint and pigment to remain on the surface.
 
Arches Oil Paper has an exceptionally tough surface that withstands heavy brushing with stiff bristle brushes, as well as wet paint removal with turpentine and a rag. It also stands up well to palette knives and swearing.
 
This paper is "ready to use" without preparation, making it less brittle and stiff than gessoed papers and more resistant to chipping or cracking. It can easily be cut to the desired size, rolled, and transported.
 
Easy to use, easy to frame, easy to store, and lightweight to transport, Arches Oil Paper is an artist's wet dream!
