Greenhouse painting

This is probably my eighth or ninth oil painting, after working an acrylics for the last year. Still getting used to them, and I still seem to make a terrible mess every time I use them!

I am mostly happy with this one, but I feel like the plants are maybe a little on the cartoonish side. I watched a few YouTube videos on oil painting trees, I don’t have a lot of the brushes I saw other people using, so I mostly used a size 2 Filbert, size 4 round, and a liner. Advice welcome.

I received a very cute small pad of Stonehenge oil paper. The cover says it does not need gesso and requires zero prep. Painting on it was great but when I peeled off the painters tape on the edges, a thin layer of paper just peeled right off. And this is definitely not sticky painters tape, these are pieces I reuse over and over again.

I thought about using gesso, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of the paper. Any suggestions?
