general rule of thumb you can paint on anything with acrylic, but it certainly depends on your style.

you will always need to prime your support before painting, use a waterbased Gesso, you can find this in all good art stores.

Once your support is primed go and paint!

I would choose something a little thicker that copy paper how ever ;)

What media did Monet use to paint?

It depends on what type of painting you are doing, or what kind of paint you are using.

Instead, you need to use canvas to paint on because paper will start to shrivel up when you paint on it. So, just use canvas, which you can buy at a crafts store like Micheal's or JOANN for the low price of about $25-$35. Your welcome!!
