Artway Chinese Sumi Rice Paper Pad - 48 Sheets - 9 x 12 - 35gsm

The Rice Paper Pad, measuring 9" x 12" with 48 sheets, offers a versatile canvas for a wide range of artistic pursuits. Crafted with a traditional Sumi-style, the lightly textured paper provides an ideal foundation for various mediums, including Sumi ink drawing, collage, painting, block printing, watercolor, charcoal, and more.

The 48 sheets of raw, unsized, and absorbent semi-transparent paper feature a cotton-white hue with a soft, open texture. This quality makes the pad particularly well-suited for vigorous brush strokes and expressive gestural marks. Additionally, the paper's delicate nature (approximately 35gsm) also lends itself to collage, painting, block printing, calligraphy practice, watercolor, and charcoal techniques.

To ensure the sheets remain flat and protected, the pad is supplied with a 2mm backing board along the short edge, secured with a gummed binding. It is important to note that this paper is very thin and delicate, and as such, it is not recommended for use with standard printers, particularly laser printers. While certain inkjet printers may be more tolerant of non-standard paper thicknesses, attempting to use this paper in any printer is done at the user's own risk.

In summary, the Rice Paper Pad offers artists a versatile and traditional canvas for a wide range of artistic activities, from Sumi ink drawing and collage to painting, block printing, and more. The pad's delicate, semi-transparent paper provides a unique and expressive foundation for the creative process, while the gummed binding and backing board ensure the sheets remain flat and protected.
