Questions for acrylic emulsion as ground




I have few questions regarding on the things I experimented. I coated the canvas with 4 coats of gesso then applied 2 coats of pure acrylic emulsion to make it glossy and non-absorbent. After making the preliminary sketch, I started painting oils. It was a bit difficult to make brush works because the canvas was too slippery but i found it nice applicable to my style. When finished painting I let it dried and found out that it looks brighter and better than the priming preparation i've done before.

My questions is does anyone of you know the durability of the painitng i did? Is acrylic emulsion good as ground for priming or sizing? Does the oil paints penetrate well to the ground?PLease let me know because I really find this thing (acrylic emulsion) soothing to my technique.
