Originals in this selection, Oil on paper, Urban and Pop, under 500 euro.
Oily paint on a thirsty ground
Oil on paper joins the glow of oil paint with the directness of a sketch, and in a pop style the result is fresh, loud sheets. Urban pop paintings in oil on paper under 500 euro for sale lead to originals that are lighter and handier than canvases.
Paper takes oil differently from canvas: it pulls binder out of the paint and makes it look flatter and faster drying. The sheet is often primed so nothing bleeds through. The result is strong, direct color.

Pop behind a mat
Bright pink or orange looks especially clear behind a white mat. In a hallway, at a workspace, or in a kitchen, a single sheet makes a color point without dominating the wall.
Mind the framing
Oil paint on paper belongs under glass, with a little space from the paint layer. Ask whether the paper was primed and what the sheet size is. Originals on paper at this price level are often smaller than canvas works.
