What kind of board do you use for oil painting?
The gesso boards by Belle Arti (aff. link) are made from poplar panels with a gesso primer. They are very absorbent, but have a decent thickness and are beautifully smooth. Ampersand (aff. link) does gesso boards, made from hardboard with their own special coating. It has a hint of a texture but is pretty smooth.
What kind of canvas do you use for oil painting?
Alternatively you can buy clear primed canvas – which will show the pale brown canvas through it- black primed canvas or unprimed canvas. Unprimed canvas must be primed before being painted on as the oil in oil paint will eventually rot the canvas fibres away.
Do you have to prime canvas before painting oil?
Unprimed canvas must be primed before being painted on as the oil in oil paint will eventually rot the canvas fibres away. So the paint and the fabric must be kept separated by a good size and primer if you want your painting to last at all.
Do you leave some areas untouched when painting on canvas?
Leave some areas untouched on the canvas but make others richer, more complex and denser. This will add complexity to your artwork. It can be difficult to decide when an oil painting is actually finished, so it is best to evaluate the work and stand back to take a gander.

Is it cheaper to paint on a cardboard board?
In my opinion, presenting a painting on a cardboard board looks cheap to a collector even if linen is mounted on it. It also will not offer enough protection against humidity or insects. Stretched canvases will increase the price. Some artists like the spring or feeling of a tight drum of the stretched canvas. To me, it makes no difference.
