If someone has developed their skill to the degree that anyone cares if it’s on French linen or cardboard, maybe. If a customer is considering buying the art and they know enough to care it can make a difference.

Good art can be made on anything including rubbish cans. Bad art too.

I don’t think anybody is going to be more likely to buy a beginner’s painting because it’s on a better material. If they love the art and it’s on some thing reasonably permanent it might not make any difference at all. If it’s from an accomplished artist and it’s a very valuable painting, it’s probably worth buying better materials because some of them will be more durable.

My .03 fwiw if anything
