This Paper's Features

• Rough Texture - deepest surface with peaks and valleys for bold expressive brushwork in paint and ink. Excellent surface for alkyds as well.
• Internal and surface sizing with natural gelatin - unique process provides optimal color absorption yet prevents pigments from reaching the paper's core; prevents bleeding and muddying of colors and allows repeated layering of washes.
• Natural White - no optical additives so it won't yellow over time
