Yes, if you are painting the entire piece, acrylic paint can be used on oil stained wood after applying an oil based primer. If you are just applying decorative work, then apply a clear polyurethane topcoat to protect the acrylic paint.

∙ 10y agoThe great thing about paint is that you can paint on pretty much ANY surface.
So yes, you can paint on paper. However, keep in mind that since acrylic is partly water based, it's going to warp the paper while you're painting it. In general, the thicker the surface you paint on, the less the paint will warp it (as thicker materials generally can absorb more water).
If you put a coat of gesso over the paper first and let it dry before you start painting, it will lessen the warping, but not completely eliminate it.
You can always use masking tape to completely tape down the 4 sides of the watercolor paper to a hard surface. When painting on it, it looks as if the watery watercolors will warp the paper, but as it dries, it becomes perfectly flat. Experiment with that using acrylics.
You could also buy a big piece of mat board to paint on; not only is it cheaper than canvas, but it also can be cut into smaller pieces and it prevents warping when painting with acrylics. You can find mat board at almost any art supply store or framing place.
