Glad to hear that the Silverpoint / Drawing Ground is working for you! As for using it under oils, that is not something we have tested. However, if you wanted to try, we would recommend first doing a test piece and always keeping the application as thin as possible. You can find additional guidelines for using acrylics under oils on our website at golenpaints (dot) com/technicaldata/techsheets (dot) php. Look for "Oil Over Acrylic Guidelines" in the Application Sheet section. Hope that helps!

I have been using Golden Silverpoint Ground on watercolour paper and on parchment with silverpoint and, sometimes, a bit of watercolour. Very happy with it. Wondering about using it on small canvas and underpainting with silverpoint for oil?

Hi Paulette -
So happy that you found this helpful! Definitely let us know how things turnout - we are always interested in seeing what artists are doing. Also, if there is anything else we can do to help, or any subjects you would like to see us cover here, just let us know.
Thanks again!

very cool! i bought some of this recently to try out. i was looking for something that would allow me to draw and shade more easily on a canvas. i like to create my "underpainting" for my portraits with graphite before applying my paint. i haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but after seeing this demo i'm excited to give it a try.
