Jaker-

Gessoing paper is a very interesting idea. I had tried using oils on thick sketchbook paper before, but the lack of texture really made it more difficult to paint for me. Maybe with gesso, the texture would improve..

I bought a roll of canvas off of ebay for $30 (shipping included) that was 6 yards by 54 inches. Seemed like an okay deal..
I'm going to try to make my own stretcher strips by cutting wood pieces with a saw and miter box..
