<p>[QUOTE="DanaB, post: 1393844, member: 10739"]Just my two cents. My family was artistic and we painted on different mediums. We did crafts shows back in the 80s and 90s in Arkansas, US. So first let me say, I'm no expert but you mentioned painting oil on paper. That doesn't sounds right to me. Oil is just that it has oils in it and paper is fibrous and absorbs the oils so the 2 would not mix well unless someone found a way to coat the paper enough to keep the oil from absorbing. Acrylics would have a better chance with the paper but again the paper would still need to be sprayed with a clear coat or similar to keep paints from bleeding. I would think its possible to make this look old if you knew what you were doing. It is also possible that this is old as others have thought. Without taking to a professional to look at, it might be hard to tell. Someone with a trained eye should be able to spot the difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
