Uses and techniques
The paper is suitable for drawing, watercolor, ink, markers, collage, and mixed media techniques. One side has a grainier surface that holds pigment better for dry techniques and allows for good shading and erasing, while the other, smoother side is suited to markers and felt-tip pens. The sturdy paper can also handle diluted watercolor and ink without significant buckling, making it suitable for school lessons and independent sketching.
Frequently asked questions
Do both sides of the paper have the same surface? No, one side has a medium-grain surface for better pigment retention with dry techniques, while the other side is smoother for markers and felt-tip pens.
Can the paper handle wet media too? Yes, thanks to its heavier sizing and sturdiness, the paper can handle diluted watercolor and ink without significant buckling, as well as layers of multiple media.
