I’m in love with this paper!
- A3 pad- 29.7 x 42 cm = 11.7 x 16.5 inches
- 50 Sheets
- 190gsm = 90lbs
- Acid free
It cost me about $32
The majority of the inks I tried didn’t feather, and I was gasping with awe when writing with the dip pen on it. Seriously breath taking.
Colored pencils felt and looked great as well.
Not ideal, in my view for watercolors, I got a”stainy” look, but it’s possible.
