Artway Indigo - A4 Cotton Rag Paper - 100% Cotton/Handmade - 500gsm Mid Texture - A4 (15 Sheets)

Artway 100% handmade Cotton-Rag paper is entirely unique in tone and grain, made from 100% cotton rag this extra heavy 500gsm mid textured paper is naturally tough providing durability, structure and support for many different applications. The stiff board feel to this paper makes it highly suitable for watercolour and other painting techniques as well as a range of dry and soft media - for oil painting, the surface will need to be prepared with gesso. Created entirely by local artisans in Northern India using traditional paper-making methods. Available in A4, A5 and A6 sizes (natural variations in paper size and shape will occur between sheets due to the handmade nature of the product). Each Artway Indigo Handmade Cotton-Rag Paper pack is wrapped in a recycled kraft paper covering to protect external surfaces. It is also 100% acid-free with a neutral pH and internally gelatine sized. Being handmade results in a paper with no real discernible grain direction. Some extremely faint marks might be discernible on one side of the paper (imprinted from the screen mesh) however there is no front and back to the surfaces. Each sheet is totally unique and features a fully deckled edge. 100% handmade extra heavy 500gsm Cotton-Rag paper with a MID-TEXTURE SURFACE Available in A4, A5 A6 sizes - these dimensions are approximate due to the one-off, handmade nature of each sheet Packs vary from 15 to 35 sheets, depending on the size Each sheet of paper has its own unique character with natural deckled edges on all 4 sides Highly suitable for watercolour along with dry/soft media and other painting applicationsPlease Note - These papers are traditionally sized with a weak gelatine solution (1%).
