MEGREZ Chinese Japanese Calligraphy Practice Writing Sumi Drawing Xuan Rice Paper Without Grids 100 Sheets/Set - 34 x 68 cm (13.38 x 27.77 inch), Sheng (Raw) Xuan

Perfect paper for my needs

This is inexpensive practice paper. I'm new to sumi-e, and have only gone through one other student "practice roll." This is one of 4 new papers I purchased recently to learn the differences. I do use high quality stick ink and good brushes. The first practice roll was a bit thicker, but I definitely prefer the results from this paper. I find the water a bit easier to control, and the ink didn't seem to spread quite so easily. I also played with watercolor, which seemed to work and dry fine. Of course the paper is very fragile when wet, but I believe calm and gentle handling is a part of the zen experience with this type of art.

This rice paper is smelly and it has a very unpleasant texture. I wanted to use it for printing with my gelli plate . Rather disappointing.

EL artículo llegó a tiempo pero el papel estaba muy arrugado :(

I use this paper for calligraphy practice- it's of good make, and holds up to practice on both sides with little to no bleeding through. Use liberally and with great gusto!
