Uses and techniques
The paper is suitable for dry and oil pastels, charcoal, sanguine, chalk, pencil, and colored pencils, and also works well with gouache and ink washes. The more pronounced honeycomb-textured side holds multiple layers of pigment and works well for blending, while the finer grain is suited to precise details and line work. We recommend fixing finished drawings with fixative and storing them flat.
Frequently asked questions
Does the paper have the same surface on both sides? No, the paper is two-sided. One side has a honeycomb texture, and the other has a finer grain for detailed drawing.
Will the cut edges lose their color? No, because the paper is colored throughout, so the shade runs through the full thickness of the sheet.
