Are you supposed to remove the sheets from oil painting pads?

bash_bob

I had my first go at oil painting on the weekend.I was given some basic beginner supplies for Christmas. This included a "Belle Vous" Oil Painting Pad with 12 sheets. I thoroughly enjoyed my first go using a wet-on-wet style but was taken by surprise how long it can take oils to dry properly. This may seem like a non-question to some people, but when using a pad like this, would you pull a sheet out from the pad before painting so you can use...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You paint on only one sheet at a time, removing it and placing it on a table, easel, or other surface of your choice. You can use a hard or stiff backboard if needed. It does take a long time for oils to dry.
