Does it look better to use oil pastels on drawing paper or on a canvas?

Answer #1

From personal experience, it’s better and easier on paper they look pretty much the same depending on your technique. However, on canvas, you might get that ‘canvas’ texture. If anything you can try using canvas paper, it’s a thicker sheet of paper that has the canvas texture and is made of different material.

Answer #2

From my experience, it looks better on drawing paper.

Answer #3

you can use oil pastels over oil paint on canvas…once the paint is dry.
