I too am an artist and its my opinion these blank greeting cards by strathmore are a quality that would accommodate acrylics. I seem to remember my first order was textured which may or may not work depending on your concept.

These are like note cards. For the dark colors you need to find a clear ink Silver pen works pretty well.

I'm not sure since I only paint in acrylics. This is a question you'd have to either as an art instructor or ask an online art forum like www.wetcanvas.com or even write to Fredrix who makes the canavases (probably www.fredrix.com ?)

Being recycled paper, it is more absorbent than watercolor paper, but if you keep your paints a little on the dry side, it should work. The envelopes that come with them are worthless. They are so thin, they tear when you insert the folded card.

Yes they can. Acrylic paint is best. You can also add stickers to them. I added monograms to a few. The rest I just left as is. Enjoy your coasters.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality. Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards. Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

Try The Army Painter primers. It's a solvent based acrylic. It's more expensive, but you get 400ml per can, so the cost per oz. can be cheaper than this

I would say gloss. Not sure how it would absorb airbrush or acrylic though.

Yes you can, I use acrylics all the time for painting models and other things =) I just thin them with water *depending on brand* to get the right consistency so paint will flow out with out spattering.

Cardstock. It is not matte. Get it if u want it to reflect light and images.

I've used IBM's glossy card stock, available here on Amazon.com, and it works really, really well. Search for IBM GLOSSY GREETING, and you'll find it. We bought 240 of them. Of course, as mentioned above, it CAN get expensive if you don't have a CIS (Which I do, and it performs flawlessly).

Airbrush only. This is very thin coloring and wouldn't work well. It isn't as concentrated as the gels are and to get enough color you'll end up diluting your frosting or fondant. You'll want to use the AmeriColor gels.

Yes, they print great for matte finish, I wish they had a gloss finish for a more professional look. I use thse all the time to make greeting cards

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.

Yes , you could use for oil or acrylic , they are very shallow and does not hold large quantity .......pretty standard for palette seprators

They appear to have a semi-gloss. Should be OK with stamps, however I use labels Order some and give it a whirl.

I would use markers, the material is very flexible and paint would probably crack and peel.
