Description

This art paper has several virtues: Firstly, it is good value for money, especially when discounted. Secondly, one side is rough and the other is less so - more like medium in texture - suiting it to more detailed work such as might be required for portraits; it's versatile in that sense. Thirdly, It offers good workability. Can buckle somewhat when thoroughly wet and some buckling (cockling) remains as it dries. This disadvantage is not confined to Baohong paper and can be ironed out if it's a concern.

Received in good condition with sturdy packaging. Lovely paper to work on, I’m enjoying learning how to use it to create different effects. I’m anxious to try the other Baohong products.

I go through a lot of w/c paper. I'm demonstrating to my students 3/4 times a week as well as doing my own work and commissions. Apart from the cost (reasonable compared to the paper I used to use) the mixes do not get absorbed into the surface as quickly as other papers do. That gives me more time to manipulate large washes that are heavily pigmented. In my experience soft, lost and broken edges are enhanced by the manner in which the water hangs around a bit longer. It takes a little getting used to but now it is my preferred paper to take to Europe when I am running workshops there, even though I could buy the Italian, French and English papers more cheaply than here.
