is there any kind of prep I need to be aware of before starting to sketch my piece on to the paper, or before painting?

except for an idea, nope! Draw/paint away!

Does this paper need to have gesso applied before use?

Hi there! This paper does not need to be gessoed before applying oil paint.

Does this paper have any kind of a gesso like coating? Has anybody noticed any issues with buckling/warping with acrylic paints?

Just textured paper. No gesso or other coating. Though the linen texture has a good hold or tooth for oil and acrylic paints. Though the Canson Canva Artboards and Mixed Media Artboards are three times heavier and more durable.

How does this paper looks like— is it in natural,beige or cream color?

cream color thick n good for acrylics
