Artway Indigo A1 Cotton Handmade Paper, 250g/m² Medium Grain, 20 Sheets - 2303217

This set contains 20 loose A1 sheets of Artway Indigo cotton handmade paper with a weight of 250g/m². Each sheet is handcrafted, so no two are exactly alike in size, shape, or color tone. Made from 100% cotton instead of wood pulp, with long, strong fibers that withstand wet washes. Softly glued with a gelatin-free solution, making it vegan; acid-free with a neutral pH to prevent yellowing. A slightly textured surface that holds watercolor and gouache washes well, and accepts graphite, charcoal, and soft pastels nicely. For oil paints, first prime with Gesso; stretch large sheets before applying heavy washes. Suitable for hand-printed linoleum and woodcuts in large formats; the deckle edge looks impressive for exhibition pieces, welcome signs, and seating plans for weddings. Not suitable for inkjet or laser printers. Each sheet is handcrafted by local artisans in Northern India using traditional paper-making methods. Ideal for: large-format paintings and exhibition pieces.
