Clear Gesso for Oil Pastel and Other Mediums? | surface comparison

I was looking for a suitable surface for oil pastel artwork and stumbled across clear gesso as a primer. Its gritty texture makes it really interesting especially for hard oil pastels. Since I was on it, I also tested the surface for oil-color dry brushing, color pencil (Faber Castell Polychromos), and PanPastel.

I used clear gesso by Liquitex, different papers and my two student-grade oil pastel sets (Jaxon and Royal Talens Van Gogh).
