Spontaneous yet durable
Oil on paper is lighter, more spontaneous and more intimate than oil on canvas. Among oil paintings on paper for sale you meet sketches, studies and worked-out sheets that carry plenty of color with little weight.
Paper absorbs the oil from the paint, so work on primed paper looks more matte and dries faster. Painters often finish in one sitting, which gives the stroke its freshness. Because of this directness, oil studies on paper are popular with collectors.

Frame and protection
Unlike canvas, paper needs protection: glass or acrylic glazing, an acid-free mat and a cardboard back. The sheet should be held at the corners instead of glued down, so it can move. Ask about this in the listing.
