Amylee views on Clairefontaine oil paper.
“Paper that is inspired by linen”
If I say “a surface for oil painting”, I guess that most of you will think “easel”, “stretched canvas” or “bulky material”?
But that was before … Today, artists are completely released!
In loose sheets or in blocks, the paper intended for oil painting is designed to cater to all desires. It is lighter, more economical, and more practical than stretched canvas, so it can be painted anywhere with less supporting materials. It attracts both students and professional artists!

- White paper, slightly ivory
- 240gsm, medium fine linen texture, acid-free (pH neutral)
