Bamboo Mixed Media, 265 gsm

is also made from approx. 90% bamboo and has been developed as a mixed media quality. Its unique surface makes it equally ideal for painting, drawing and mixed techniques. According to the painter Karin Kuthe, who has tested the paper, “Bamboo 265 gsm is a beautiful paper with an amazing feel. The paper characteristics convinced me, no matter what medium I used - pastel, oil pastel, crayon, pencil, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, air brush. While painting with watercolors the paper does not become wavy in any way. This leads to outstanding results with wash, glaze and wet-on-wet techniques.I am very confident that Bamboo 265 gsm will be extremely sought-after, not least because it is made from highly renewable Bamboo and therefore helps to save our natural world.”

Painter and drawer Werner Meier says about the new paper: “The Bamboo sketch paper offers an ideal surface texture for graphite and charcoal adherence. Due to the stability of the paper fibres, drawing strokes can be perfectly erased. The outstanding flow of the medium on the paper surface makes even finest ink lines possible.
