The only difference is that you use airbrush, so your surfaces will probably much smoother than mine... Didn't know you could use thinned Gesso for airbrushing.

Regarding oil pape...This one looks great as usual!<br /><br />Regarding oil paper, I don't really like the Arches oil paper. Hot press watercolor papers like Fabriano artistico can be prepped to be used for oil. I don't think many people do it but I've tried it and it works. I use airbrush . So I tape it down and spray a coat of thinned gesso or acrylic paint and let it dry. Once this is done it accepts layers of oil paint and no oil leakage happens on the other side. An alternate to airbrushing is just brushing gesso or something like GAC100 to the other ( same effect) . As the paper's hot press, it'll be really smooth even after this.
